: I don't keep up with all the latest mutations, but that is really neat! Did this originate from "pure" glades? Do they call it ghost because the color is faded or are the hets yellow too?

: thanks-

Actually this mutation is not real new, I remember seeing them as far back as 1997 at the FIRS in Tampa. Gulf Coast Reptiles established the strain from a wild caught animal, I think from somewhere near or outside Fort Myers, Florida. The fading of dorsal color is present in both the whitesided black rats (they are white with greyish) and the glades.

Here is a picture of a yearling het:
