Any advise?

To start off, thanks terry for the pic of your albino. It's helped a lot. Now, at my local reptile store they are selling baby albino Everglades rats and baby normal Everglades rats. Price is not an issue, I was wondering if one was less common in the pet trade then the other. Which do you recammend I get? I likeboth of them the same amount, I've seen adults and I like them both the same*.

personally, if you have the means to care for more then one i would get both, most likly you will be going back for the other if you get one, i usually buy in pairs

Especially if the store can reliably sex them for you and you can get a pair.
That said...If you only get one...get the one YOU like best. Maybe get the biggest one in the group (good eater!) or ask to handle a few and choose besed on personality. If you really like them all the same...then let cost be a factor if ther's a diff.
While the albinos may be slightly less common, the normal adults are beautiful animals. Good luck. :D
