Predicted Distribution
Reptiles do not migrate as some birds and mammals, so the colored areas depict the predicted range for the Striped Whipsnake year-round. The habitats were identified using 1991 satellite imagery, other datasets and experts throughout the state, as part of the Washington Gap Analysis Project.

Distribution and Habitat Requirements
Distribution and Habitat Requirements This species occurs in grasslands, sagebrush flats and dry rocky canyons. It can be found in open expanses, sagebrush and rocks preying on lizards, small mammals and insects.

Models
The Columbia Basin ecoregion was selected, and the Central Arid Steppe zone was core. Good habitats were talus slopes, cliffs, grasslands, shrub savannas and shrublands.
