People say I'm "het for wierd" (or maybe that was "visible wierd") :pinkele:

Lovely snake Chris! Whatever she is or isn't, she's still a lovely female and those are always gold. :)

Thanks! She is not so much gold as she is tan and chocolate :P

This is my het pied male. He has some of the marker-look to him. I don't take much interest in het pied markers......UNLESS they are the 'special' het pied marker ;)

Being a female I'm honor bound to mention that chocolate trumps gold any day of the week! :P

Thanks Daniel! Do you notice a correlation in "buggier" eyes in het pieds? Seems like lots of het pieds has this feature. You should really stop screwing around and sell me that het pied male of yours! Those het pied spiders are SWEET :D

I wonder how many people have bred Pieds or Het Pieds to normals with the pied marker? If so, have they ever hatched out a Pied, or do most people assume that the marker doesn't mean much because a lot of normals have it? Maybe the Pied gene is more common than people think?

LOL he looks normal but Chris labeled him as het weird because he was reported by the previous owner to be in a litter with an all white snake or possibly a pied. Chris bought both of the parents from this guy so they threw in this baby for free. Chris gave this snake to another guy who was supposed to prove him out for Chris because Chris was busy concentrating on his definites but instead the guy sold him to me. It was kind of a shady deal all the way around. I've been in constant contact with Chris and I promised him I would breed him next season and see what comes out. If it turns out to be nothing, fine but if it does, I will give Chris a female out of the litter. I hope it turns out to be something cool because Chris has been such a big help to me I would love to give something back. Neither of us is holding our breath though LOL.

I wanna say I remember Adam posting that "there is no proof that markers really mean anything". Pieds are so weird anyway. If I understand the gene correctly, high-white pied parents can yield low-white pied kids - there's no rhyme or reason, it's just random craziness.

Personally, the longer I look at Cleo, the more I can also convince myself I see all sorts of visible "markers" or possible morphs (yellow belly, cinny, blah blah blah), hehe...but I know she's just our pretty normal girl. =)
