    Hi
    I really really hope that prices remain high for the bp morphs personaly. I would love to get into the trade and maybe make a few bucks. No money in it if doesnt cost alot. I figure if your in it just for aesthetics, you may as well get into corns. They have quite the managery of morphs and none of them cost alot.

    Just a thought for those interested in buying an actual piebald (not het). I read the other day that the genetics for the amount of white in a piebald are totally random. So if you are looking to breed, get a cheaper (as if any of them are "cheap") low white piebald. Its offspring could very well be some fantastic highwhites.

    Early on (like when het pieds where $12K) there was some investigation into identifying the gene and coming up with a DNA probe to identify hets. It would have been very hard to identify which gene was responsible so I suppose as hets got cheaper and as the sporadic visible het marker became better known the project was dropped.

    If either of your 50% chance het males happen to have the three scale wide white belly with the solid black lines at the edge in the last 3rd of the snake I would concentrate on getting that one bred and any daughters with that marker raised up to breed back. Not all hets show this marker but if you have a choice concentrate on the possible hets that do show it.
