As far as TOTAL genetic purity, you're right. But the hets will give a good indication. I was living in Ohio at the time, and knew the guy, saw the snake AND the resulting hets-which were identical to any normal Ohio black rat snake.

Doubtless a lot of "mixing" has occurred since then, but if the hets from a line look like black rats, and not Texas rats, then they probably are at least "mostly"blacks.....
