The Mexican Racer (Coluber constrictor oaxaca) is a non-venomous colubrid snake, a subspecies of the Eastern Racer, (Coluber constrictor). It is found primarily in Mexico, from Tamaulipas to Vera Cruz, with isolated records of it occurring in Nuevo León, Coahuila, Durango, Colima, Oaxaca, and Chiapas. The species also ranges as far north as the United States in southern Texas, and as far south as Guatemala. It is known to intergrade with the Eastern Yellowbelly Racer (Coluber constrictor flaviventris).
