: Ihave been seeing leucistic black rats on the market and they are more expensive than the Texas form. Are they the real thing? or are they the result of hybridization of the two? How can you tell the difference? Just wundering, thanks CH

I'm pretty sure the guy's just pulling your leg (less euphemistically-lying)... There is a leucistic grey rat, which there were pictures of somewhere, but to my knowledge there's only one of those, and it's the only leucistic obsoleta that ain't E. o. lindheimeri.
