What's amazing about these is that they are actually locality specific morphs, from my understanding. I think the "original" calico is actually a wild collected animal from KY. It is STUNNING! Like no man-made morph I've ever seen.

Check out his gallery of cow suckers here:

Great new website too...

btw...they are black rats. Many rural KY folks refer to black rats as "cow-suckers" - a spin of the milk snake legend I suppose.
