The leucistic gene is allelic(compatible) with each other, so you will produce all leucistic offspring, regardless if one's a Texas, and one's a Black rat. Not that anyone can tell by looking at it, because the meristics in both obsoleta are virtually identical.



The strange faint coloring you see in some is fairly common, I have a Texas that exhibits a yellowish coloration, and especially on her head.
