first let me say I'm no expert on the morph subject but more on the diversity in color and patterns on pines found south of gainsville to desoto county in central fla. I'll try to answer your questions. first ?dominant they maynot be, but dubble recessive?... you tell me.. leucistic texas rats have all leucistic clutches...no? second ?the latatude of the patternless pines in gainsville is also where black starts to appear on the dorsums and the mottleing on the head and the band across the eye, and their eye color is exteramly variable thruout fla, I've seen black,tan,light grey,dark grey,brown,rusty colored,even blue eyed normals. body background color is also varible thruout the state, theres grey with lavender, white with silver patterns and white with brick red in the jaxnville area, the pines found in the southern most extent have light grey body color and grey/brown patches with rusty tail and spotless heads often white, and black eyes and the pines found in the tampa area have a tan colored body and brown patches. ? three the reason leucistics have a faint color? you'll have to take that up with the creator himself! sombody better be writing all this stuff down, this is valuble information huh? haha JB
