I totally agree with what Matt mentioned. There is no way on earth to be able to properly identify that snake down to it's precise crossed genetics and percentage without knowing it's past parental lineage. Obviously it has some strong Everglades Rat, and/or Yellow Rat influence in it's outward phenotype. But as to the other part(s) of it's genetic equation, it is virtually impossible to say with any certainty at all.

I don't think there is an entirely different genus involved though, and it appears to be a North American Ratsnake cross of the "obsoletus" complex. Possibly some light "white oak" phase Gray Rat, or bairdi..... but who knows. These are only educated guesses from what it "looks" like.
