Well, I was sort of compelled to. I picked her up as a 100% het albino, but as far as I was concerned, she was not proven until I proved her out. On the one hand, I'm glad I did. On the other, I'm (almost) too tired to enjoy the success.

One other thing I forgot to mention, a little while back, I put a live small-medium rat in her cage. When I checked on her, I did not see the rat. I figured she ate it. Well, come morning, I checked on her, as I do all my animals and found she was chewed up pretty good. The rat obviously was not eaten and very well hidden. This was the lowest point in our relationship. I was one straw away from throwing in the towel.
