This is why it is very important to trust the breeder when buying any BP that is supposedly contains a ressive gene.

Well, I woudn't completely discount a marker though. If I had a normal with tracks or a tail ringer I'd certainly hold it back over just a normal looking normal.

Markers are not 100% that an animal is het Pied, but in a het to het breeding they can play a big part on who to hold back for future breeding. Some lines of pieds have stronger markers than others as well.

I don't have any experience with spiders or Bumble bees, but here is my 100% Pastel het Pied.

Just translated, HAHA that would be my dream place, if it were open 24/7 and had wifi. :D

i hear ya :) would need a nice coffee/tea bar to :) maybe we just found a hole in the market? :P

I wouldn't discount het pied markers. I know a snake with markers isn't necessarily a het; however, if I offered a batch of possible het pieds would you pick the ones with markers? I did in 2005 and all 5 proved out to be het pied...:D
