I may not be very smart, but what if I am?

Re: Dumbo Odd Eye Merle Rat

Re: Dumbo Odd Eye Merle Rat
It's hard to see in a picture, but in real life 3D, he's got them. Now I just need to figure out what to put him with to get the best odds on more merles.

If he's a Merle and not Marked, you'll want to pair him to a Mink. Mink x Pearl Merle will give you 50% Merles. Some might be Mink Merle, but you should get Pearl Merles too.

Re: Dumbo Odd Eye Merle Rat
If you have any Pearl, pair him with that. If not, any other mink color. Since merle only expresses on mink colors (some better than others, like Pearl Merle is good), breeding him to a Mink color will give you the best odds.
Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.

I do plenty of Pearl x Pearl pairings, but do remember, it's lethal in utero. 1 in 4 babies will be absorbed. But, Pearl works if you don't mind losing some of the Pearl babies. But any Mink based works. I'd try to stay away from Mink dilutes though (Platinum, Russian Dove, etc.), even Cinnamon Merles aren't as good. So, stay away from Agouti as well.
If you don't have any Mink based, out cross to a black. Then breed the offspring back to each other/this guy.

Thanks. Now, could you post a good mink? I've got a lot of rats that look sort of like one thing or another and I'm not quite sure I'm getting them right.

Re: Dumbo Odd Eye Merle Rat
Two different Minks. They are not compatible. The one in the rear is UK (not what you want), they make crummy Merles. Upfront is an American Mink, which makes awesome Pearl Merles.

Baby Mink Merle.
Pearl Merle is aammPepeMeme, Mink Merle is aammMeme, it's just missing the lethal dominant Pearl. Pearl is what makes the coat creamy/pale.
