Certainly you don't believe that I am unaware of all that,....right?
However, I chose to make things as less "gray" as possible.
I do have some newly-discovered locality-specific hypo "greenish" ratsnakes that originate from northeast S. Carolina. These are definitely natural intergrades and they are fabulous in my opinion. The big difference being is that the cross was not done in anyone's plastic tub mixing un-like ssp.
The extremely pale original male was captured personally by a good friend of mine in 2006 as a young sub-adult of less than 20 inches. He was subsequently bred to two W/C females that were also captured by him less than 150 yards from the morph male.
Can't wait to get some offspring from these guys. Bet it won't be long before their awesome, distict locality-specific identity is stripped away by some silly shmuck that later crosses them with Bubblegum Rat x Calico Black Rat x Leucistic Texas Rat, x hypo Everglades x Amel Yellow Rat, etc...
