>>I just picked up a pair of 08 brazoz island rats and was wondering if anyone had any pics of theirs. Do they look any different than the mainland meahlomorums? Mine just look like typical meahli's to me, with big bug eyes and large set off heads. Tbrock you can probalby give me some good info. Thanks. I will try and post some pics, but my PC is down right now.

Looking forward to seeing photos, Matt! Not sure I have any good pics of BI rats, and the pair I was keeping, went home to their owner's house a while back. That pair had some interesting coloration and markings, but I have seen somewhat similar in some other localities as well. They tend to have 'H' or 'X' shaped blotches, it seems, which is one of their most interesting traits IMHO. Terry Cox can tell you more, since he is the owner of the pair I was keeping.
Speaking of meahllmorum... There are a couple posts below, from myself and Todd Hughes. Todd is the owner of a LTC male reverse-striped animal from Nueces County. We bred him to a CBB reverse-striped female, whose parents came from Duval County. She is owned by Terry Cox. I also bred Todd's male to one of my big Nueces County girls, who laid a nice clutch of fourteen. Todd is currently attempting to breed the r-s male to another Nueces female. He also just got a nice clutch from a pair of '04 CBB Nueces meahllies (see below).
ps. The reverse-striped female just laid a very large egg! More to come...
