Anyone keeping / breeding Trans-pecos rat snakes?

Ultimately a Trans Pecos is going to need a somewhat bigger cage than a rosy boa. TPs are about 4' as adults and they use every bit of a 40 gal tank that is
36" long x 18" wide x 17" high. They have a moderate activity level & happily use branches whereas rosy boas are somewhat smaller (females 40" & males
about 30") and don't climb very much. As far as the higher humidity where I now reside, I've been here for about 12 years with healthy TPS & rosies, etc.
A rosy would be better suited to a well-ventilated tub, if you "must", but honestly it's not fair to animals of any kind for us to own them when we cannot offer
the optimal space & conditions they need. BTW, my TP tanks are in my living room, though admittedly my house is fairly quiet (dogs but no kids).

It's been a few years now since this thread was started, & I'll add that one of my male Trans Pecos rat snakes is actually at least 4 1/2' long now. He's now the longest one I've had, so for anyone trying to plan what size home these snakes need, if yours ends up as big as my one male is now, you might want a 50 gal. tank instead of a 40. As with all snakes, they grow their whole lives, & mine are currently 14 & 15 years old. (It was a pleasant surprise for me today when I saw these threads had come back to life. :cool: )

Can you post a picture of yours?

I'm happy I found these threads!!! lol!!! I had a lot of searching to do!
