And now I find out my black rat is not a black rat at all, but a hybrid Texas Ratsnake x Black Ratsnake.

So, apparently some work went into creating these lovely devils.

Suffice it to say, it came as news to me that I had a hybrid which is funny in a way as I love buying hybrids, I just wish the darn thing was properly labeled as a hybrid and sold as a hybrid.

Not trying to make too big a deal out of this as I am happy the truth is out now rather than later, but thought I would share this information with you that the scaleless gene in black rat snakes actually comes from the texas ratsnake if anyone happens to find one for sale.
