het pied

[illliterate02]

when people say they have the markers of a het pied what exactly am i looking for? i just want to know for suer....

Ther is no "for sure" marker. What most people are refering to are black striping on the belly of the animal. The belly of the animla will have black stripes border the white belly scales. These stripes are generally on the bottom on third of the animals belly. However, plenty of people, myself included, have 100% definite Hets that do not have the marker. Having said that, it may be something that you could use when picking out Poss. Hets., but there is no "for sure" marker.

so this stripping would be like vertically running down the snake or across the belly? and is this a possitive way to identify a poss het?

There is no positive way to identify a possible het or a 100% het.

my starball has 2 striped across his lower belly, one on his tail and a half stripe, but i doubt hes a het!

I have one and It does have the marker but I agree with the others some 100%hets don't have it. Now when I breed mine I'll keep all the female's but I'll be extra excited about the one's with it.
