The long-nosed snake (Rhinocheilus lecontei) is a species of nonvenomous snake in the family Colubridae. The species is endemic to North America. It has two recognized subspecies. The other species in the genus were previously considered subspecies.
The specific name, lecontei, commemorates American entomologist John Lawrence Le Conte (1825-1883).[5]
The long-nosed snake is distinguished by a long, slightly upturned snout, which is the origin of its common name. It is tricolor, vaguely resembling a coral snake, with black and red saddling on a yellow or cream-colored background. Cream-colored spots within the black saddles are a distinct characteristic of the long-nosed snake. It differs from all other harmless snakes in the United States by having undivided subcaudal scales.[6] The total length (including tail) of adults is usually 22–32 in (56–81 cm), but the maximum record total length is 41 in (100 cm).[7]
R. lecontei is a shy, nocturnal burrowing snake. It spends most of its time buried underground.
The long-nosed snake feeds on lizards, amphibians, and sometimes smaller snakes and infrequently rodents.
R. lecontei is oviparous,[8] laying clutches of 4-9 eggs in the early summer, which hatch in the late summer or early fall.
The long-nosed snake is not apt to bite, but will release a foul smelling musk and blood[9] from the cloaca as a defense mechanism if harassed.
The preferred natural habitats of the long-nosed snake are desert, grassland, shrubland, and savanna. [1]
R. lecontei is found in northern Mexico from San Luis Potosí to Chihuahua, and into the southwestern United States, in California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas,[8] Oklahoma,[10] and Texas.[8]
The long-nosed snake is not often found in the exotic pet trade as it frequently rejects rodent-based diets that are most readily available for captive snakes.

Rhinocheilus lecontei, unique représentant du genre Rhinocheilus, est une espèce de serpents de la famille des Colubridae[1].
Cette espèce se rencontre[1] :
Ce serpent se caractérise par un « nez » allongé. Il présente un fond rouge avec des bandes transversales noires en losange. Le dessous du corps est blanc, et les couleurs rouges et noires sont souvent mélangées de blanc. Il peut atteindre 75 cm.
Ce sont des reptiles nocturnes et terrestres qui se nourrissent de petits lézards et amphibiens et parfois des rongeurs. Ils sont ovipares et pondent de 4 à 9 œufs au début de l'été.
Les sous-espèces Rhinocheilus lecontei antonii, Rhinocheilus lecontei etheridgei, Rhinocheilus lecontei lecontei et Rhinocheilus lecontei tessellatus ont été synonymisées par Manier en 2004[2].
Cette espèce est nommée en l'honneur de John Lawrence LeConte[3].

疣唇蛇屬（學名：Rhinocheilus）是蛇亞目游蛇科下的一個無毒單型蛇屬，屬下只有疣唇蛇（Rhinocheilus lecontei）一種蛇類，其下目前有4個亞種已被確認。
疣唇蛇擁有明顯上翹的鼻端，鼻吻較長，因此得名。牠們身體上有三種主要顏色，就像珊瑚蛇一般，以黑色、紅色及黃色的橫紋帶構組全身的斑紋，與此同時身上亦有許多淺色的小斑點。
疣唇蛇性情內向，屬於夜行性蛇類，並常居於地洞中。主要捕食蜥蜴、兩棲動物與及其他較細小的蛇類，間中也會捕食鼠類。疣唇蛇是卵生蛇類，每次能生產約4至9枚蛇卵，產卵期為每年初夏。蛇卵孵化期約有數月。疣唇蛇並不擅長咬擊，當牠們遇上危機時，會從泄殖腔位置釋出一種難聞的氣味，以將敵人迫退。
疣唇蛇多棲息於乾燥的岩石帶或草原，主要分布於墨西哥聖路易斯波托西州至奇瓦瓦州一帶，與及美國西南部的加州、猶他州、內華達州、愛達荷州、阿利桑那州、新墨西哥州、科羅拉多州、肯薩斯州及德克薩斯州等州份。
疣唇蛇並不屬於常見的寵物蛇。因為牠們常不願意接受專門用作餵飼蛇類的食用鼠類，而食用鼠類是養蛇者最容易獲得的蛇類食糧之一，故此疣唇蛇的擇食習慣，為飼養者帶來不便。
