I hope no one takes this the wrong way but I find this post somewhat amusing. There has been plenty of good advice on cage size. As far as I am concerned, the bigger the cage, the better it will be for the snake.

What I find amusing is the whole question of getting a leucistic Black Rat Snake or a leucistic Texas Rat Snake. These snakes are subspecies of each other (basically they only differ in color). If they are leucistic (i.e.: white with blue eyes) how could you tell them apart? There are no markings to look at.

I have been searching for some time now for report of someone finding in the wild a leucistic Black Rat Snake that was used to produce the current lines of leucistic Black Rats. Can someone point me to this field report? What can I tell you, I am very skeptical about there being any true leucistic Black Rats.
