There is a very simple way to check the leucistic Black Ratsnake origin. Just breed a leucistic Texas Rat to a leucistic Black Rat. If the F1 offspring turns out to be all leucistic too, then these two leucistic morphs are allelic, and therefore you can safely assume that the leucistic Black Rat is indeed a Texas x Black Ratsnake crossbreed. If not, then the two leucistic morphs are to be considered as incompatible, and therefore of different origin.
I was planning to do this myself, as I had both leucistic morphs until about 6 months ago, but I got bored with the whole subject and sold all of them. The real problem with leucistic ratsnakes that they all look the same.
