Self

 

Description

 

A self rat has a complete lack of markings. A self can come in any color, including colorpoint and merle. The ideal self rat will have color that entirely covers all extremities, down to the bed of the nails, soles of the feet, and entire tail, and will not have any white hairs at all (unless the self is a White rat.)
