Mexican Pine Snake
Pituophis deppei
The Mexican pine snake is an egg-laying, burrowing snake of Mexico's upland pine-oak country. Its pale ground color carries dark dorsal saddles and smaller side markings. Captive animals need secure floor space, burrowing substrate, dry retreats and a controlled temperature gradient. The northern form, traditionally called Pituophis deppei jani, belongs to this species; record that origin rather than treating a locality or subspecies as a separate species.
