: The great plains rat snake is considered a separate species, Elaphe emoryi. As for your other question, I have no idea.

: : Is the great plains rat snake still considered by most to be a subspecies of guttata or recognized as a distinct species? Also, how do "Kisatchie" corns figure into this complex? TIA.

Okay. So emoryi is now considered a full fledged species... Does that make Kisatchie Corns a hybrid? Or perhaps just a local variant of E.emoryi or E.g.guttata? TIA.
