red racer

Fast nonvenomous snake

A red racer is a slender, fast-moving snake native to the western United States and Mexico, typically reddish-brown or pink in color.

Like other racers, it's nonvenomous and known for speed rather than aggression.

Red racer also names a type of children's wagon or go-kart, especially the classic Radio Flyer style with red metal body and black wheels.
