What Kind of Rat is That?

The coat is to be short, smooth, and glossy with the males having somewhat longer and coarser hair.

The coat is to be evenly curled and also to a lesser extent on the belly. Curly whiskers are normal for Rex. 

Can have a very short, curly coat, "peach fuzz", or be mostly hairless.

D'Argent or Silvermane coats are a result of the tips of the hair shafts being hollow, giving the rat a silvered appearance. D'Argent/Silvermanes have very soft coats.

Velveteens have very thick, soft coats and can look like a poor Rex. They have wavy whiskers versus the curly whiskers of a Rex.

Hairless rats should have a thin, bright,  rather translucent skin, free of scars or pimples, and be as hairless as possible. The ears should be very large and wrinkle free. The whiskers may be very  short or missing; they are usually curly.
