I don't know much about leopards.. but then again not many people do. I tend to lean towards the idea that the "leopard" is just an extreme visual difference that the het pied brings in. There's more than enough anecdotal evidence to support the idea that it isn't entirely a recessive trait.. "mildy incomplete dominant" may not be scientific, but may still at least get the gist across. To my eyes, this sometimes shows itself even more in combo animals.
Pair her up with a pied male if you can score one down the road, it will be well worth it! :D
Thanks for your thoughts. :D I'm hoping I can get a pastel pied male for her in a couple of years when she's up to size.

Ok, well, since YOU were the one that gave the price on a public forum... That makes it OK to discuss...
Something stinks around here. There is NO way that someone would sell THAT snake for $250. So please explain the confusing part.

I don't know guys.
There is a breeder in my area that works with Leopards and Leopard pieds. His Leopard Pied females are $1500 +. But, I've seen him with Leopard het Pied females for $500, so maybe...?
That is a Leopard, no doubt based on the ones I've seen. I'm afraid I'd have snatched that girl up in a heartbeat, Leopard or not, just because she's amazing.
