As far as I know, I am the only person to bring ratsnakes from Brazos island to the hobby. The habitat there is nothing as pictured in the above post.. it is a desolate barrier island, sand, sea-oats and annual flowering plants.. not a single tree of any type is to be found. The dunes build until a storm tears them down and it begins again.. Ratsnakes depend upon ground-nesting birds, lizards and even invertebrates.

... over the last couple of years I have gotten into heated discussions with some people over the validity of the B.I. ratsnakes as a distinct race.. I do see individuals from inland with some of the traits of these snaskes.. but overall, as a group they seem definitely somewhat unique (to me).

I hope this helps!
