    i got this info from http://www.afrma.org/siameserat.htm

    When Siamese is bred to Albino, the resulting litter will be all Himalayans. These animals are in theory pure white with dark points. In reality they are usually light cream colored with rather light points. Unfortunately, no one (that I know of) in Southern California is specifically working on these, and what are usually shown as Himalayan, is in truth just very light Siamese.

    The siamese gene is located on the albino locus. I'm rusty on the inheritance, but it would seem that I get albinos and himalayans in the same litter. And will get siamese and himalayans in another litter.

    Too cute! We used to have rats as pets before we had the snakes. They are so smart I was surprised when we got them. I never realized how trainable they were.

    Precious!!! :)
