I agree with Mike
There is no such thing as a "Black leusistic snake" by definition leusistic means a pure white animal with normal eyes. therefore there can't be a "Black leusistic"
I just searched the forum using the words you used and there is not 1 post about a "black leusistic rat snake" but there are a few posts about leusistic black rat snakes. I don't know if there is any way for me to make this more clear but there is no such thing.
to try to further explain the difference here are the scientific names of the 2 snakes
Elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri (Texas Ratsnake)
Elaphe obsoleta obsoleta (Black Ratsnake)
both of these snakes are available in a leusistic morph along with MANY other morphs

I hope this clears up your question
