Bought a normal with a nice belly, possibly het pied?

Picked this girl up as a normal because of her awesome markings. Looked through the het pied marker thread from a few years ago, but just wanted yalls opinion on her.

No way to know without breeding, but normals can have those markings. This is a picture of a male I produced. He was not het pied (or het anything for that matter).

It's possible but het. pied marking are never full proof.

Ah, those marking look very very similar to the ones on mine. I will just have to wait a couple years and see what happens :)

Either way, she is an awesome looking normal!

The only foolproof way would be to breed to prove it out. I don't rely too much on markers as they can be a false directive.

100% hets without a doubt, comming from a visual to a normal they have white bellys with tracks the full entire length. and very dark backs, heres one boy i produced in march. piedmale to normal female

Markers aren't 100%.

For you to prove her out, your best bet would be to get a visual pied male and hope for pied babies. You could go with a het to het pairing, but unless you get great odds, it may take a few years to prove her out (if she is indeed het).

If you want to try to prove her out for fun, and have a Pied laying around, go for it. But, I would say, if you want to go that route, Het Pied females are pretty cheap now, why breed a probable normal to a Pied? If anything, get a Co Dom Het Pied and then at least you do not end up with just a bunch of cheap Hets.

Don't try breeding it to prove it out. You bought it as a normal it will be a normal. To often people buy a normal and hope its actually something different, because of how it looks, when its not. Now I am not saying its impossible to buy a normal and it is actually a morph. I am just saying people ask a lot and it lands way way WAY more in the favor of just being a normal owned by someone with wishful thinking.
