Ryan. Just a little additional information to add to the mountain ratsnake discussion. First, the red mountain racer is not a true racer, i.e. coluber, etc., but rather a type of oriental ratsnake, which inhabits higher elevations of s.e. Asia and subtropics. The original red mountain racer subspecies, Elaphe porphyracea porphyracea, comes from n. Burma, e. India, Yunnan China, etc. E. p. coxi, is the Thai ssp. of the red mountain racer, recently named (see Schulz' monograph of the genus, 1996), and it is from northern Thailand. I hope there is more discussion of this great Asian ratsnake. TC.
