Anybody out there really good at identifying Texas Rat snakes and black rat snakes?
Seem like an easy thing to do, I bet, but I am going to add in a nice complication. How can you tell the difference between a Texan rat snake and a black rat snake if both are Leucistic? The wild forms of both snakes are pretty distinctive for identification but does there exist other features not relating to color or pattern that would make it possible to tell them apart if both are leucistic?
I have been checking various pictures of both species in an effort to determine if my leutistic rat snake is in fact a black rat or a Texan rat snake. THanks for any and all help.
