Monster Mouse Pattern

Recommended Posts

very cool patter. one thing ive always thought about white mice. You don't really find white mice in the wild so wouldn't it be better to make them brown. just my thought i may be wrong. smile.png

 

 

Most mice are white on the underside aren't they? Or is that just deer mice?

 

I have tried brown and more natural looking mice, and they don't seem to catch nearly as many fish. Fish see well into the UV range and see colors much differently than we do. I think it is more about the pattern of light reflection than color when they are identifying prey?
