That's what he was sold to me as . . . I just question it because of the amount of orange he's got! It's actually gotten BRIGHTER as he's aged, rather than fading, as is standard. I still haven't seen any albinos with his colors. Babies, and yearlings, but by the time they're a few years old, they've all been darker. He's got to be close to 6 years old at this point, and his colors still seem brighter with every shed. His offspring aren't a very solid black, either.

And the attitude! He's got a VERY typical Texas rat attitude. About half the time, he'd rather bite me than anything else.

Anyone have any pics of albino Texas rats to compare him to?

thanks,
Ronnie Nocera
