The Black Ratsnake shows a tremendous amount of variability throughout it's natural range. For each photo of a locality specific animal superficially resembling your specimen, there will be dozens of others from other locations. It would be close to impossible to reliably determine the locality of your specimen this way. And who ever suggested that your specimen is locality specific to begin with? Given the fact that you got it from a pet store?
