It's hard to say your female is rusty albino just from comparing her to one pic- I've seen a lot of really red albino black rats that weren't rusty. Do you have any pics of yours?

Here's a rusty with a normal-


You can see how she has a "rusty" look to her color, almost purple.

This next pic is of a normal and a brindle. Brindle produces a brown snake with random patches of normal coloration- sometimes they have a lot, sometimes hardly any. Mine hardly have any black at all on them. Males are also much redder than females.



You can see those three snakes in the pics I posted before, too, for a full body shot of them. I'll try to get some more pics of them soon, and when I do, I'll definitely post them.



thanks,

>>Redmoon, I appreciate your posting your pics of the black rat morphs. As with corns I've seen alot of names given to what seems to be an endless variety of patterns for the black rats.
>>I just picked up a pair of albino rats from a newly met friend on this site. I plan to breed them possibly this spring or next.
>>From looking at your pictures the female i have looks to be a rusty albino. The male I'm not sure of how to label him. He has faded orange saddles over a much whiter base with much more white to his head. Also I'm curious as to what a rusty and a brindle look like as the pics I've seen include maybe half a dozen and I can't tell which is which.
>>Mike.
