I looked up the scale counts, and all of the P. obsoleta sp. seem to have the same scale count, so that won't help you. I would guess that the trait came from a Texas Rat Snake. Leucistic Texas Rats are well documented. There are reports of a Leucistic Black Rat being found in M.D., but who knows, it could have been someone's pet that got loose. In the wild, these snakes are very rare, and usually they get eaten early in their lives because they stick out like sore thumbs.
