Red Rat's are just another common name for cornsnakes. They are both "one and the same".

Black ratsnakes come in quite a few different morphs. They come in genetic mutations such as......

Black Rat morphs:

amel (i.e. albino)
Cinnamon
Albino Cinnamon
Lemon Cow Sucker
albino Lemon Cow Sucker
Albino "Rusty"
Brindle
Calico
leucistic
White-sided
axanthic
hypoxanthic (extremely reduced yellow pigment except for a few random colored scales here and there)
Lavender
Hypomelanistic

Texas Ratsnake morphs:

albino
axanthic
hypomelanistic
leucistic
white-sided

There are several other North American ratsnakes that come in similar morphs too, as well as other species like Asian/European rats, etc..
