Het axanthic markers?

Also I'd like to point out that recessive and co-dominant are neat categories people made up that fit many mutations but nature isn't bound to follow them and I think piebald is a good example of a mutation that is part way in-between recessive and co-dominant.

Both of my 100% het VPI Axanthics have light head spots but so do all my other hets (pied, hypo, clown). Don't know if that helps or not.

Here is a couple pics of her. She has a bit of retained shed(she had it when I got her on Sunday). I kinda looks like she might have a spot nut we'll see when I get that shed off her. Shes still settling in, I will deal with it in a few days.

Kinda looks like she has the het pied marker along her tail.

My het hypo girl has the 'typical' head spot.

Still waiting to see what the markers are.....

Jsmorphs2, I see it in your second pic posted.

Twistedtails, I need to see clear pics of the snakes head from a top view.

It is not just light spots on the head but rather a distinct pattern. Being that het albinos and other morphs have light head patterns, the marker can be skewed or masked by the presence of another "marker".

What exactly does the marker look like? You are being very vague....

I think Pat is the only one who has identified the "true" markers.

But both are 100% hets. Is the top pic just not clear enough or do you not see the pattern there?

Unfortunately, all it takes is one snake to prove that there is not a true marker, just like the black stripes near the tail of some het Pieds.

The two yellow spots on the end of the nose?
