These specimens are certainly escaped or released pets, or the products of unions between native animals and released pets.

Certainly? Before I say you are completely full of sheet, what combination would create a 'calico' mutant? Can you please let me know so I can create some myself? How can these be released pets, since this mutation is not established in ANY captive snake breeding program that I am aware? Or what combination of released pet and native animal creates such a mutant?? Thanks for your insight!!

Please, get some objective DNA analysis from a disinterested party before you continue to pass those things off as Kentucky locality Rat Snakes.

Beg your pardon, sir but what would DNA analysis prove? That these animals are from captive gene pools? That they are from Jefferson County? How can DNA analysis prove or disprove the exact locality where a snake came from? You obviously know more than anyone else, so please educate me. Have you ever heard of Frank Burbrink? I doubt it, as much as I doubt you have ever read his work. Maybe you should stick to those pretty pictures in your Barron's and TFH books.

:Once again, no disrespect intended to you K.E., but I feel obligated to offer some balance in this discussion with my varying viewpoint.

'Varying viewpoint'?? That would certainly be an understatement. While it could be potentially possible to find an escaped pet albino, leucistic, brindle, or even whitesided near the Louisville area, how can you argue that the calico is an escaped pet? Total hogwash and a waste of forum bandwidth.

Thanks for reading!
