Wow!,....black eyes huh?,......I'm not aware of any Black Rat mutations/morphs that have a complete lack of melanin on the entire body with the exception of the eyes. I would definitely hold onto that one, do some test breedings, and see if it is a inheritable recessive genetic trait(I would bet that it is).
You more than likely have a very unique, one of a kind morph that hasn't been seen in the hobby yet.
It seems "somewhat" genetically similar to the so-called "Calico Cow Sucker", but it definitely is NOT the same genetic mutation since I couldn't detect the first sign of any dark pigment on the body.
Good luck with it!
