Bogertophis subocularis
Transpecos Ratsnakes, also known as Subocs, are
moderately sized snakes that are easy to maintain in captivity and
come in a variety of colours and patterns.
They are primarily a terrestrial
(ground dwelling) species which is active mainly at night (nocturnal).
Subocs are constrictors and a member of the largest family of
snakes, colubrids.
Generally placid. Many specimens
can even be described as
gentle.

Snow, Hypoxanthic, Panther Canyon, Peach/Pink, Red, Albino Blonde,
Axanthic Blonde, Bleached Blonde, Blonde, Mustard Blonde, Snow

Vivarium or plastic tubs We
prefer to use tubs as we found them to be much easier to keep clean.
Other requirements: -Suitably large water bowl for them to drink
and bathe
-A minimum of 2 hides (1 in the cool
end and 1 in the warm end)
-Climbing branches are advantageous but not
essential
Viv
- Guarded Ceramic heater or heat mat
Tub
- Heat mat
Whichever method is used, the temperature
should be controlled by a suitable thermostat and monitored using a
digital thermometer
Northern Mexico, Southern New Mexico, West
Texas
Desert flats, brush slopes and rocky
outcroppings.
We use
Aspen. Trans Pecos Ratsnakes require a VERY well
ventilated enclosure to ensure they remain in peak
condition. Over
feeding or power feeding is not recommended for the good health and
wellbeing of subocs therefore a suitable breeding size, particularly
for females, may not be reached until they are at least 3 years of
age, but usually between 4 and 6 years.
