My name should give you a clue. Bogertophis subocularis, aka Trans Pecos rat snake, is a favorite, as are most rat snakes. I also happen to love rattlesnakes, but don't
have any currently...I worked extensively with them for 20 years though. I have mostly rat snakes now of various kinds. If you love mellow snakes, the 2 best rat snakes
are Trans Pecos & Baird's rat snakes, both native to the desert southwest. I used to have and breed Baird's too. I currently have Florida rat snakes (mix of yellow, gulf
hammock & apparently Everglades that their former owner concocted) also a Korean rat snake (NOT recommended), corn snakes (incl. a 21 year old Okeetee from those
I bred), & some other misc. snakes (rosy boa, Aussie spotted python, TX longnose). The list of all I've kept or rescued is too long for here though.
