Doug,

Although probably not a "ratsnake", as taxonomically related to the "Elaphe" and related genera, it looks a lot like a "ratsnake" and I would suggest that it probably behaves a lot like a ratsnake with similar requirements.

We've mentioned that it is rearfanged and technically venomous which makes it a little different from the Elaphe, Pantherophis, etc. Still, it could be very ratsnake-like in other ways (ratsnakes generally aren't rearfanged). Do these Pampas ratsnakes ever use constriction, like most ratsnakes; are they partially arboreal or terrestrial only; do they eat rodent and/or avain prey?

Thanks...Terry
