Color specks on my Leusitic Texas Rat

Posted by Chris P. on August 24, 2001 at 18:26:31:

I just got a Leucistic Texas Rat today by FedEx. It is impressive over 5' and fat and happy. The question I have is is it normal for these to have a few small specks of orange coloring showing up on them, or are they supposed to be uniformly white? The spots are mostly slightly smaller than scale size, and he has around ten of them distributed on his body. Oh yeah, he isn't pink eyed, so its not some weird interaction with amelanism.
