Trans-Pecos Ratsnake

Bogertophis subocularis

Description:

Non-venomous ratsnake with distinct pattern.

Habitat:

Found crossing dirt road.

Notes:

I love these snakes, they are very beautiful. Unfortunately, when people find these snakes in the wild they often take them home as pets, which I am completely against! No matter how docile and harmless a wild animal may appear, taking them out them out of the wild is never a wise thing to do. And it is one of the biggest problems many native wildlife face. That goes for exotic species as well. ***All animals found in my collection in which I have handled are never taken out of their habitat and are always returned to the wild where they were found. ALWAYS ***
