Hello! I am working on an arid bioactive enclosure and am considering the Trans-Pecos ratsnake as one of my top choices. Currently, I have blue death-feigning beetles in there and am wondering if I could run into an issue where a Trans-Pecos would eat them. I know this is not naturally their prey in the wild, but would guess that some parts of their natural habitat could overlap. I am hoping they are too crunchy for a snake to want to eat, but does anyone know whether they (or another snake such as a gopher snake, which is my second choice) would spontaneously decide to have a beetle snack?
