The rex mutation is the same as the pastel mutation as far as inheritance. A rex bred to a normal theoretically produces 50% rex, and 50% normal. A rex bred to a rex produces 25% normal, 50% rex, and 25% double rex. Double rex are called patchwork rats sometimes. They grow hair but lose it at regular intervals as it is very brittle and is constantly breaking off. True hairless rats are not double rex, and are unable to grow hair at any point in their lives. As long as your snake will eat rats, it will eat rex rats, and even double rex rats. Here are pics of a dumbo rex and a double rex!
