Third WRE 2012 pickup.

Completely lucked out on this guy, was again the only Mandarin rat at the Expo and in addition was male! Only happened to see him on my third pass of the table he was on. Some of the people manning the table were not terribly happy about him selling. He's likely an 2011 and is a good bit bigger than our female. Also currently without a name.

Re: Third WRE 2012 pickup.

Was thinking of naming him Rue but kind of doing a Firefly theme with most of my other Old World rats, so might try to keep to that.

Re: Third WRE 2012 pickup.

He does have a bit of red on his scales between his saddles. Our female so far has more than him. I think he might be starting to go opaque in those pictures though.
