If this snake was a dog, you would have a very good looking mutt. Sounds like the owner is very happy with the snake, and for some very good reasons. The color and temperament both sound very attractive for a pet snake.



I do have a problem with dealers who sell snakes that are crossbreeds as if they were just a rare morph of the normal species that they picked to label it with for the sale. I would not have called it a Texas Rat Snake. Elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri, the Texas Rat Snake, is a true subspecies of Elaphe obsoleta, and not something that breaders created in the last few years.
