Doug made some very valid comments regarding origins. It is extremely difficult to determine if you have a "pure" animal whenever you are dealing with snakes that are classified intimately with their geographic location, as well as their unique coloration/characteristics like the Everglades ratsnake. There are just too many "hobby" varieties out there to be sure unless you purchase from reputable breeders, or capture them yourself. Start throwing in the recessive traits like hypomelanism or albinism, and the waters muddy even more. Like Doug said, just enjoy your snake!! It really is a beautiful animal.
