The genus Masticophis may soon be absorbed by the closely related genus Coluber, which contains the Racer (Coluber constricter).
Coluber constrictor flaviventris, commonly known as the eastern yellowbelly racer, is a subspecies of racer, a nonvenomous, colubrid snake.
In World War II it was used by the Hitler Youth and it was also used for snake experiments – a snake from the genus of Coluber was set in the location to fight the adder and a kind of serum was developed there that Rommel used in Africa.
Coluber constrictor anthicus, commonly known as the buttermilk racer, is a subspecies of racer, a nonvenomous, colubrid snake, endemic to the southern United States.
