Hi Joe,

Yes, the Black ratsnake does basically look similar in general appearance, but if you look at the enhanced photo "anuuranman" posted of it, you can plainly see the very close squarish blotching dorsally, the smaller side blotches, hints of the teltale ventrolateral checkering, and also the postocular stripe in back of the eye that are all indicative of the Eastern milk.

No doubt it can only be one thing, good ol' triangulum!

Which reminds me, hope your awesome albino male is doing well!. He has probably sired some nice het youngsters for you by now,..huh??



best regards, ~Doug
