Blackjack

About Blackjack

Blackjack is a Chapparal Whipsnakes, aka a Two Striped Racer.  Blackjack came to us injured from the wild.  After being rehabilitated, Blackjack was evaluated for repatriation and was determined likely not to survive in the wild.  In lieu this risk, he joined our ambassador program.


Blackjack is ALWAYS hungry and is always up for another meal, even if he just ate.

Species Status

STABLE (not threatened or endangered)

Species Information

Blackjack is a Chapparal Whipsnake aka a Two Striped Racer -  Masticophis lateralis lateralis.  These snakes are found in almost all of coastal California, except the northern most coast, and can be found in the Serria Nevada Mountains.  


Chapparal Whipsnakes are very fast.  When they hunt, they raise their head and tail high off the ground.  Chapparal Whipsnakes are regulated by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.  Blackjack has a special permit to partake in ambassador animal activity.
