Have everglades become a CB morph?

From what I've read (Dick Bartlett) & what I've personally experienced, pure everglades rats are tough to come by in the field. This is due to the encroachment & influence of yellow rats throughout their range.

Since most ratsnakes found in everglades range are intergrades, where do the bright orange everglades on the market come from?

Are the "orangest" wild caught adults selectively bred to produce the "orangest" offspring? Are the everglades on the market a result of selective breeding, rather than being anywhere close to the animals that exist in nature?
