That is always a possibility Tony, but how on earth can they be accurately identified from one another when they are both white snakes with the very same scalation meristics?

I just don't see being able to testify in court that most of them are known to be 100% Black Rat, Texas Rat, or even intergrades unless the person knows for a fact that their bloodline came from far within a specific range. I think a few people might have these, but certainly there has to be lots of crosses floating around in the hobby too. As to which lines are genuinely one or the other is anyone's guess unless they got theirs from someone that knows for an absolute fact where they indeed originated from.
