Classification and distribution questions
Ok so I'm fairly confused on some ratsnake classifications. I have a current list of North American snake classifications and the Western rat snake (obsoletus) and Eastern rat (alleghaniensis) are listed but with no subspecies. The reason I am confused is because the Everglades rat used to be listed as an obsoletus subspecies, and now it isn't and I'm unsure of which species it belongs to. Also, its very unclear from online research if either one or both species are native to Georgia, which would make them illegal. So I've been trying to figure out if I can legally keep Everglades rats here or not but it's proven to be very difficult to determine.
