At $1000 that makes them a great value then as most female morphs that are het pied run at or above that. With some more confirmation I may have just decided my next pickup

I've never heard this before. Good to know :D

Everything so far points at leopard being a visual het pied. It's not a combo, but a single gene that is allelic with the pied gene.

It's a little frustrating, because "leopard pieds" are basically indistinguishable from regular pieds. They just happen to cost more.

But as far as I've heard, yeah, it's an allelic gene that acts as a visual het pied. Supposedly.

According to World of Ball Pythons and everything else I've ever read Leopard is a dominant gene. I have never heard of it being allelic with piebald before.

Where are you getting this information?

Wobp isn't the best place for genetic info

Info comes from reading about the scattered leopard breedings, any of them that involved a leopard and a het pied seem throw pieds, also all the leopard pieds that obviously throw leopards. a little thinking of how it is possible you can easily come to the conclusion they are allelic which has yet to be proven wrong.

If this is true, leopard pieds could produce leopards instead of normal het pieds when bred which would be a huge plus when selling the babies. I think that would be worth the extra costs.

Also, just to add, the Super Leopard is a visual Pied from what it looks like so far. Unless the animal Greg has happens to be a Super Leopard Pied, but he's claiming it to be a codom with the Super being a Pied animal.
