Het markers

[ironpython]

I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I'm pretty new at this and keep hearing about markers for this morph and that. Can someone educate me on the different markers for morphs.

The only markers I really know of are het pied markers. They sometimes have tracks on their bellies near their tails. Sometimes they have ringers as well. I don't have any ringers, but here are my het pieds. It's not fool proof, but an idea of what markers can look like. Keep in mind normals can have these "markers" too.



This one is a het pied het albino

Hi,

Bottom line? If the markers were accurate guides to the presence of the gene the morph would be called co-dominant not recessive.

There are some recessive het genes that do visually express themselves.

Take the pewter het pied for example. The het pied gene washes out the snake. That pewter het pied with a regular pewter look completely different side by side.
Another example would be het. clowns. The het clown gene tends to brighten and clean up the morph. Of course, this is not always the case, but I would say usually.
And the markings of het clowns tend to look a little different too sometimes (larger eye spots in the alien head for example).

Thank you.

The marker to rely on is buying from a reputable breeder, then markers or lack thereof will not matter

I have some hets with mar strong markers some with more subtle markers and some without any markers (all are hets, either produced by me or proven)

I also have had normal with markers

Here is an example of a strong Pied markers, this girl is actually a double het (DH seems accentuate the Pied markers)

Here is a Pewter 66% het pied that I'm hoping will prove out! I should find out this season. She has been locking with my pastel het pied male.

I love that pewter

Steph, I would say without a doubt, that Pewter is a het. The Pied gene causes pretty solid striping in Cinny and Pewter animals, especially towards the tail/posterior 1/2 of the body.










I believe you get the picture.lol. Good luck with your breeding and hope you hit on some of these.
