Ringers

Hey guys I was going to buy this bumble bee het pied but it's only a possible het pied.. The catch is that it has a ringer on the tail.. That leads me to believe that it is a het pied.. So can anyone answer, does a ringer always mean het pied?

No, it does not.

What is a ringer?

A ringer is when the snake has a small ring around the tail, sometimes meaning het pied

And is that one het pied?

He's not a het pied, just a fire.

Thank you

really?? wow.. and i thought that it was piebald with very less white patterns.

i have been studying on het pied markers, and yes its true what they said, just because it has a ringer it means that its 100% het pied.
try to compile factors like belly markers, ringers, colors, patterns.. you might increase your chances of proving out a poss het. but again all visual factors for a 100% het pied are not guarantees.
