Yes, there are definite meristic differences in the two's scalation. The Ratsnake books I have are two much of a pain to convey all this to you though, as the idiots are pertaining more to the head scalation.

Texas rats have either 27 or 29 scale rows at mid-body, and you might want to do some "googling" on meristic, or scalation to see what I'm talking about with head scalation. I wish I could find whether or not the Texas does, or does NOT have two latteral stripes under the tail, because I even checked again, and INDEED emoryi definitely DOES have two latteral stripes underneath the tail, just as I suspected.

Mean as all hell certainly sounds like Texas influence as well..LOL!
