: As I recall, Sacha Korell was the one that had pictures of it. It was noticably different from a leucistic Texas rat, as it lacked any of the bug-eyed-ness that's present to some extent in all of the leucistic Texas rats that I've seen pics of. The eyes also seemed more greyish than bluish.

Well then, if that's the case what I thought was a leucistic Tx rat must in fact be a leucistic grey rat!!!! (see pic) WOOOO HOOO!!! And all of these years I have been selling them as lindheimeri...

:I'm guessing that you'd know it was spiloides from the range...

So according to your logic, if I catch a leucistic rat snake in New York City it has to be a black rat? (since this would be outside of lindheimeri's range) Just because a snake is found in the wild does not mean it originated there. Anyone ever been to south Florida??????

Sorry Patrick, but I don't think your criteria pass the test.

Anyone else care to comment??

Thanks in advance,
dg
