Het PieBald - Markings?

[RandyRemington]

I would very much like you to be helpful. Of course I'm going to question everything anyone posts. If you are posting accurate information it isn't as likely to be challenged and should be easier to defend.

To get back to the topic..... Het pied markings may well just be a locality thing... Balls are not seperated into localities where they come from however ...... based on what I have seen hatching in West Africa..... there are some regions that definately produce a higher percentage of certain types of aberations...


From some regions you get the standard normal ball python patern with very few aberations and almost no morphs and then from other regions you see a high percentage of the babies with all kinds of different aberations. With practice a trained eye can even pick out the origin of a batch.

So "pied marker" may just be an undefined inheritable trait that is also prevalent where Pied genes freely float around in the wild populations and so occasionally the het pieds also display the so called het pied trait

I agree. It's nice reading over these "historical? threads and sometimes you dont always find them with a search.

So does anyone have any new data regarding the likelihood of ringerism in pied projects and if it's directly linked to being heterozygous pied?

The only ringer I've produced also had the pied belly markings and was out of a 50% chance het pied with the belly markings but my sample is small and with only possible hets. Perhaps in the last two years enough small breeders are working with homozygous pieds to provide some new perspective on the sporadic het pied indicator debate.

i think pete would have the most data on pied projects! and the years to make it noteworthy.
