If it was sold to you as a Texas Rat, it most likely IS. If it was sold to you as a Black Rat, well, there's been plenty of debate on this one. Which points to TWO of the reasons that I would be more likely to purchase a leucistic Texas Rat. 1. With such minor differences, if any, why pay more? and 2. With a leucistic Texas Rat, I would be more confident regarding what I have. IF a true leucistic black ratsnake does exist (which is the debate, and I think there's at least a pretty good chance that it might), then there's still a very high probability that any given ALLEGED leucistic black rat is still part texas. There's little doubt that even if one was found (in Ohio, the story goes) there were still plenty of folks working on "creating" one by using the existing leucistic Texas Rats. So...that would always leave me wondering what I had. So...Heads it's Black, Tails it's TX Duffy
