Those are pretty, and definitely a different gene at work: http://www.flickr.com/photos/martenfisher/2939003334/
It would be neat to get a double visual of the two, though I'm putting the cart before the horse even assuming either are going to prove out!
I would love to see it put over some of the calico black rats from Ky.
That's was the first thing I thought. Even it isn't the same thing, I'd take a pair of double hets :*)
10 years ago there were several guys and gals you could get various black rat morphs from; now Never understood why they don't get the love corns do...
Their base color is black. That's the only reason I can think of. With corns, you can isolate so many colors and the pattern morphs also "last." Black rats are bigger, and seem to be on average about equally docile. A big 6+ foot "chocolate chip" rat is going to be impressive!

I'd like to see a whitesided version of this new palmetto-ish morph. Black rats (and many other North American rats) are very undervalued as far as I'm concerned. Maybe new morphs like this one will revive some of the interest in black rats. Someone in MD recently posted pics of a strange WC black rat morph-white and orange with normal looking eyes.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Fewer colors, mostly just a big black snake, which I am totally okay with. I think they are very neat critters.

As the story goes the first whitesided black rat was caught in MD (Harford Co?) by a guy named George Miskimmon (sp). Also was mentioned by a member years ago there was a population containing amelanistics from a certain area in MD...
