I didn't know if anyone had seen this- A new species of rodents have been found... http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/science/05/12/new.species.ap/index.html

I haven't owned a snake long but is it normal for the first thought after hearing that to be - I wonder if my snake would prefer them over the f/t rats I currently feed him?

LOL - Careful - chances are if you fed him one he'd renounce all other rodents and since these guys are hard to find and only produce one offspring at a time - your snake would most likley starve between feedings.
