Trans-pecos ratsnake care?

[Bogertophis]

Thank you for all of this info!!!

I just got 1.1 Trans Pecos a few days ago. I already feel a difference with them than with my small Boas lol....

Definitely keeping this saved to refer back to!!! (I never thought about using shredded paper!!! (I work in an office!!! lol)

Hey, welcome aboard! And congratulations on your new pair of snakes. It's so nice to have another member keeping Trans Pecos- & we look forward to you sharing your experiences here- I hope you love them as much as I do. So many people are convinced that all rat snakes are feisty, difficult pets- it's so not true, & nowhere is that more obvious than with "subocs" (as they're nicknamed). Are your snakes hatchlings? Or older ones?

Substrate- I still do the same thing- one layer of paper towels (makes clean up much easier), then a mix of shredded paper & some Carefresh (about an inch deep altogether). Great absorption, & keeps humidity lower. And yes, shredded clean paper is free & easy to come by.

BTW, please do start a new thread to share your new Trans Pecos.
