Red rats are corn snakes. Don't let peoples common referral names fool you, as well as wacky cultivar names. To find different subspecies you will have to go to Carolina's, Florida Keys(was recognized as rosacea), and then Great Plains (emoryi).
Yes, greenish rats are obsoleta X qudrivittata these are in overlapping areas of the two ssp ranges. I caught, photographed, and released about 7 of these a couple months ago. Will post pics.
This is what I believe to be true.
hope it helps!
