Took a long time but I finally made one!

It is a small detail... One that I have trying to breed for for a LONG time, and it has finally happened. The goal was simple. An ALL black ASF. the whole body, ears, and tail. It took me forever to get the tail to happen... but it is finally here. does anyone else have any of these? (including the black tail???)

I think you made a mouse:D

Just make sure you have some come Aug., we'll meet up at the show :)

congrats mike. I like how it looks. now if only they could be shipped. :D

So does anyone else have these yet? If so, post some pictures!

Hey Mike, I think I have one of those. I'm gonna go take a picture on my first break. Remember that baby dilute one I got from you? She finally got pregnant and had that black baby - the dad is that mostly black guy, the very first rat I got from you. Anyway, I could be wrong on the "all black" color, so I'll go take a pic at lunch...

I couldn't wait for lunch. I went and took a quick break. Okay, so is this an all black one?

I'd be interested in seeing what you have, but I won't be able to see the pic until I get home tonight! (Photobucket blocked and all here) :P

Yep your right. Mike its brown though?

Oh yea, it's an agouti (wild type) I've got loads of those! :P :D

Mike, it looks brownish to me... is this one of those... it's black, even if it doesn't look solid black things? Is that the ASF black? Or is it the picture? Just wondering.

its the lighting of the picture. they are black

wow, so it took me this long to produce a "Normal" one?! LOL!

I have a breeding quad of them...A male and 3 female. Plus some that are in the food bins. I will shoot you an email with some pics hopefully by the end of the weekend.

I'm wondering why do you guys need 'em all black?

Because when they are all black they look like dirty, diseased vermin. All the better for feeding time.

HEY! I like the black! I call them Sith Lords. And they're not allowed to be put in the food bin... Only the panda looking ones are allowed in the food bin.
