Piebald

Is it possible for a piebald to have a white head? I have never seen one, does one exist?

So far as I know, there have never been any pieds produced with a white head. There have, however, been a very small handful of animals that look like pieds that have white heads. The genetics on that phenomenon are not yet understood, to the best of my knowledge.

anyother input?

Pied's to my knowledge don't have white heads. I havent seen any. It would be like hitting the genetic loto

From what I've read (on RDR, Nerd, etc.) is that homogenous pieds always have a "normal" head, usually with a bit of gray on the neck, and then mixed amounts of white and "piebald" orangey-black markings. Lots of white is referred to as "high-white pied"; very little white is "low-white pied".

Piebalds, however, are starting to be mixed with other morphs and with those, you may be able to eventually see one that has a white head - but to my knowledge (i.e., surfing the web for any and all pictures of pieds I can get my grubby hands on), there is no current pied morph combo that has a white head.

Time to combine a super mojave x piebald, ivory or yellow-belly x piebald, lesser platty x piebald, etc.? =)

What's a supermojave look like?

I wonder why Piebald (by itself) doesnt ever hit the head....it's weird how it never does....it only randomly hits from the neck down....

Super mojave is another all white snake with blue eyes (blue eyed leucisitic), so to try to get a pied with a white head, maybe cross it with a super mojave or regular mojave...*shrug*

I do my best "what if you combined..." thoughts right before I go to sleep, so I never remember them...

*edit*
I do not profess to be the best knowledge on morphs so if I'm incorrect, PLEASE someone correct me!
