I have seen obsoleta x guttata hybrids before, but never with a texas. it can be done, but it is difficult. you may have to use the old "switcheroo."

you put a female of the same species as the male in his enclosure. if all goes well and he courts her, switch in the female of another species. this may trick him into copulating with her. this is the method i used to achieve yellow ratsnake x corn hybrids this year.

i would have to say that such a hybrid would be impossible. they are too different, from opposite sides of the world. if you want to create hybrids, a lot of research is required, and you have to know a good amount about both species. i think i understand the source of you confusment tho. the texas rat and the beauty rat, used to be in the same genus, which would suggest that they could hybridize. however, all new world ratsnakes have now been removed from the genus elaphe, as they are really not very closely related to the old world ratsnakes. obloleta has been placed in a new genus called pantherophis, along with other north american species such as gutatta and bairdi.
