The Complete Suboc; A Comprehensive Guide to the Natural History, Care, and Breeding of the Trans-Pecos Ratsnake
By Dusty Rhoads
Written with a true completist approach, this book is a tour de force account of the elegant Trans-Pecos Ratsnake of the Chihuahuan Desert. This is the first and only book ever written about the most divergent and beautiful of all the many colubrid snake species of North America, the Desert Ratsnakes -- including the Trans-Pecos Ratsnake and their West Coast "cousin", the Baja California Ratsnake. It provides a comprehensive guide with chapters discussing:
How to choose your suboc
Color and pattern morphs
Caging and housing
Feeding
Breeding, oviposition, and incubation
Common diseases and disorders
A bonus chapter on other western ratsnake species
It is a must have for Suboc enthusiasts. If you have spent any time on the River Road in Texas searching out these spectacular beauties, you will want to add this pioneer work to your library.
