Leopard Ball (50% het pied, or 100% het pied?)

I picked up a leopard ball a few months ago; haven't found much info on them; some say they are 50% het pied, and others, 100% het pied.

If anyone owns one, or knows the answer, I would like to hear your thoughts.

Thanks,

my book says Leopard is a dominate pattern mutation that first appeared in Het Pies in the wild. Nothing is really known about them so all Leopards are considered Het Pies

the double genes possible each are Leopard / Pastel or Pie or Spider
and the triple possible gene is a combo of all 3

Interesting. I will have to ponder that. Thanks.

They are listed in Designer Morphs Vol 1 by John Berry

Hi,

I think Justin Kobylka would be your man to ask about leopards. :gj:

This is his username on here jkobylka and this is the leopard page on his website.

JoeEllisReptiles and i are working with leopards, and hoping the odds are on our side. as were breeding to many different morps this year. as i under stand it all Leopards are considered Het Pieds.

From what I hear the Leopard gene only shows up on Het. Pieds or Pieds. I think time will tell for sure. If it is true could you imagine the possibilities of being able to id het pieds!!! WOW!!! So Steve... Lets shoot for Leopard Lessers, Leopard Pastels, Leopard Bees, and Leopard het. Albinos!!! How Does that sound to play with?
