Mid-September my wife and I spent a few days in FT. Davis, Alpine, and Terlingua, West Texas; Suboc country.
.
The Davis Mountains and others are in an area where there are hundreds and hundreds of square miles of excellent habitat for several color variations of Trans-Pecos Rat Snakes (Bogertophis subocularis) – Suboc for short. This area is crossed by very few roads.

Although this pic doesn’t show the color of this female very well, she seems to have allot of rootbeer colors.

From the same rock group, here is a small male.

This is a thin male on a cut near the Rio Grande River.
