Racers & Coachwhips

Photo: sonoran whipsnake
Gallery Photo: aliceinwl

Often seen on hot summer days crossing the roads, racers and coachwhips are generally large, extremely fast, predators. Often willing to hold their ground when backed in a corner, and armed with long teeth, their usual defense is to flee with rocket like speed when given the opportunity. Not often seen in private collections due to their aggressiveness and size, they are not commonly captive bred. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of all Racers and Coachwhips. If you are a new user to this forum, please take the time to review the rules first before posting: Terms of Service.
