Poss. Het Pied???

I have a 1.0 black pastel from Gulf Coast Reptiles, when he arrived we noticed some possible het markers. Called them and he told me that the parents are super black pastel and a normal 100% het for pied. What do you guys think??

Whatcha Think?

Black Pastels have those markings in general..

I have another 0.1 black pas. and a 1.0 brass ball, and neither one of those have the markers.

Ringers are better markers so u know for sure its het pied tracks are up in the air its either way

He has a couple of small ringers along the last 1/3 of his body.

No, they are not...

Not all ringers are het pieds, and not all het pieds are ringers

No, black pastels do not gernerally have those markers.

Personally, I would be pairing him with a pied (or het pied).;)

You have good possibilities. As said, I would pair him with a pied.

I took pictures of some of my Black Pastels for this thread...

Here are the belly results:

Five animals... You decide.

Personally I would trust Heather over the guy with seven posts on this site. ;)

Heather gave you some good information. The only way you will know if it is a het is to prove it out through breeding. Good luck!
