Spider poss het ghost! HELP!
Hello ther guys im a beginner just getting into the hobby ive done reaserch and stuff but i cant always find an answer to the question im looking for. I recently purchased a spider ball python at repticon. He was the last spider left and he just happend to be poss het ghost. Im not really familiar with how to look for het markings... is there something i should look for? I bought a female pastel and a female lesser to breed to him in the future i would like to get a ghost female as well but idk if im better off to try to prove him out or just not worry about it for now and get something else. All help and advice qould be appreciated.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/12/4ygahu8e.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/12/dajatuhe.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/04/12/aseqy3y3.jpg

You are wrong. A poss het is anything less than 100%. Why else would there be 50% and 66% poss hets. All the poss part means is that one or more parent carries the gene. The percentages let you know if it was one or both parents that carry the gene.
knowledge is earned not learned

i agree with that, and it means: we need pictures of the entire clutch, and of both parent BPs, and also clutch pictures of other clutches this pairing produced.
yes that would be nice. and then its easy to figure it all out.
the problem is, people are not good when it comes to following rules. especially rules where violations are not penalized. more data would surely help. but maybe it doesnt exist. try to get more data anyway.

Thanks guys i think ill just look for another morph and consider it a spider. Any recomended gened to mix with spider? I have pastel and a lesser. I really wanted a desert but i found out that the desert females do not produce viable eggs for some reason.
