>>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).

i kinda figured i will ultimately have to do breeding tests. i'm gonna get it probed next month to determine for certain it's gender. Then i'll try to find a nice adult of the opposite sex to breed. Who knows, it may very well be a T positive albino whose eyes just get way too dark to see the pupil as red as it ages - maybe with a hatchling it would be easier to see red (though the blue and gold/brown does throw that theory off a little).
