Het Questions...

Ok I have a few Questions about hets.

First off; If I understand the %’s correctly, if you have a 66% het then that means that there is a 66% chance that snake has the het trait. So should that snake prove out through breeding and getting the visual offspring, then wouldn’t it be considered a 100% or Proven het?

Second; I keep reading about markers in hets. I understand the idea that in someone’s experience they notice that all their 50% or 66% that had a yellow dot on their tail proved to be actual hets... I know it’s not always the case but some people buy into it. So, my question... What are the markers?

Thanks for the help people, and keeping this a useful well of information!

First: Yes

Second: Depends on the morph, but most of the time, there are none.
