and I never knew they existed. Where would one get a rat like this anyway? I read that they have been banned since 2003 cause of a monkeypox infestation. Just curious.

All your questions are answered in the posts below.
To recap: Their are a few people breeding these animals.
They are selling their surplus, males and frozen.
They are a little more expensive then normal "rats".
There was a band, but these animals passed inspection and are allowed to be bred and sold.
If you have time, please take the time to scan all the post regarding African Rats. Interesting reading.
