    Non hets with "Het pied markers"
    Does anyone happen to have pictures of their ball python with "het pied markers" that turned out to not be het pied? also welcome pictures of snakes with markers that have no reason to be related to a pied project. I've seen them scattered would be nice to have them in one place.

    I was always under the impression that these images in the guide were from random imports that had no particular pied lineage:

    http://www.nextworldexotics.com/hghpm.htm

    Perhaps they have been proven out? My het pied male has much more subdued markers than either of these snakes, and many hets I've browsed from reliable breeders have much less substantial markers than these guys/girls. I wonder if Next World's proved them out yet?

    She's got pretty clear het pied markers, doesn't she? But she's supposed to be 100% het lavender albino. I'm trying to prove her out as het lavender this year, but all I have to do it with right now is another 100% het lavender albino male. So I may have to give it two tries. And if that doesn't work, I'll keep her around and start saving up for a visual lavender male.

    If she proves out as het for lavender this year, I'll breed her to a pied next year or the year after to make 100% het pieds 50% het lavenders. And after that breeding, we'll know for sure if the het pied markers mean anything. But I really can't imagine anybody accidentally selling me a 2007 double het for dreamsicle female for the price of just a het lavender!

    More likely they sold me a plain old het pied for the price of a plain old het lavender! But she's goofy, and I like having her around. (Isn't she goofy? She's the one who CLIMBED THE STAIRS when I had a big escape one night.)
