Thanks!

The boundaries between subspecies/color phases are the odd thing. Genuine Black Ratsnakes in Tennessee are restricted to the Cumberland Plateau and Blue Ridge Mountains of East TN; the map shows them broadly distributed in the lowlands of Middle TN and the Ridge and Valley, which are inhabited by Gray Rats and intermediates between the two. The indication that Yellow Ratsnake influence is present in southeastern TN is also odd; that area is occupied by Gray Rats, though as elswehere in the state they are variable in color and often have high proportions of yellow. The few striped ratsnakes I have seen in the state have been just oddball grays, and they have been mainly in northern Middle Tennessee.
