It sure does "look" like a brightly colored albino Black Rat to me too,......but as you very well know, today's stuff can have almost any type of lineage involved. I "think" I have seen other ones like it before, but I can't remember exactly where. Also, I certainly don't know the genetic background of the ones I saw either. Problem being, things can look much closer to what they are "supposed" to be with a little "back-breeding" for a greater percentage of the targeted species/ssp.,...know what I mean?

I'm not saying this is, or isn't the case here, I just don't know.....only the guy who bred it really knows with absolute certainty.

Great looking animal for sure!
