I understand why you're asking because some kingsnake guys can be zealots insofar as demanding "purity," but you probably won't have as much of a problem with rats as long as you tell people what they are. Not that I'm doubting your honesty, I'm just saying that people like to be sure exactly what they're buying.



Insofar as Pantherophis/Elaphe goes, I've asked this question a few times in a few places, and my understanding of the situation is that some people want North American Elaphe reclassified as Pantherophis and that some don't. I don't know who's right, or even what the reasons are on the different sides.
