>>I was thinking ten dollars apiece. I've been working with this strain for a while now and it seems to be a simple recessive trait. Slogan maybe something like " Feed your Piebald only the best... piebald mice!"
>>(This is just a joke I'm hoping the boa forum has more of a sense of humor than the ball python forum)
>>Also does anyone else breeding their own food find themselves breeding for certain traits in the mice and rats?
>>Just asking because I tend to do just that. The snakes don't really seem to care that I've bred a solid black hairless rat they just want to eat him. Go figure.

I have blue hairless,hooded hairless,albino hairless,an I am currently working on getting some hairless dumbo's,I have siamese dumbos an had blue dumbo's,but the boa's got hungry,lol!A neighbor got one off of me an it is a female but he dont take to good of care of it an I dont want to infect anything I have so Unless by chance one day I run across another co-dom fashioned dumbo then that was probably the end of the blue dumbo rat!To me their just food but to the kids an the pain in my side their are a few pet ratsI raise my own teddy bear hamsters an panda bear,s an black bears also an I just got a blonde panda bear hamster in my last litter neat!The ones that are mean are usually food too especially a black bear hamster now them can be mean!Have tried rabbits an succeeded in getting babies,but she never cared for them,so she became snake food!Sorry any rodent in our house that is mean or dont care for her babies is boa food,period!Sorry I rambled on,But it's cool to see others working with the different traits in the rodents also!Take Care all,Eric
