Some agree that the Texas and Black are just basically a clinal variant of sorts to one another in different ranges, and this could very well be true to at least a certain extent, because in many cases, I can see gene-flow from either in certain specimens, like the orangey to yellowish skin between the scales in many Blacks, etc...

So if absolute purity isn't all that important in your case, goes with whatever looks good to you, but otherwise, I would be highly cautious as to what they are.

Just trying to help out
