Rat color id please

[DooLittle]

Ok, so basically for my own curiosity, what are the proper color names for these guys? Here is a color example of every color I have. Some colors may be duplicated. TIA.

Here is Button all growing up



Harry, he's a sweet boy





Dookie, he lived up to his name.






This is Marty, she's a hoot.


This is one of my favorite momma's. She is the sweetest, most gentle girl.

Shoot quick

Seriously though, they are all pretty mellow. Dookie was a pain in the butt. I'm not a very big fan of him. Also, my husband was just out of range in case they decided to wander.

If they are acting crazy, to get good pics use a fast shutter or switch your camera to sport or burst mode. In burst mode it keeps taking shots and you usually get some good action stills if you take pics of them wrestling.

But I agree, these shots look like you bribed them to pose for the camera. My boys are probably lazy enough to get a good picture but my ladies are nuts.

Thanks for that site. I was wondering really about my blues. It would seem I have about 3 shades of them. So I must have Russian and American. And this most recent batch of babies there are some really odd shade of blue ones, almost look like the Russian Silver.

Coleslaw, Satomi, Jerry, opinions anyone???


And they actually all held still, I didn't have to do any of that stuff with the camera. Those pictures were all just taken in auto mode.

There is several reasons for different colored blues.
One might be a russian(dark blue) and the other an American(British) blue
Being het(a carrier) for red eye dilute gene's can also lighten the coat colors, just like hets in ball pythons can and do alter the looks.
