Need expert pied genetic advice
Breeder recently hatched a clutch. I am interested in one of the hatchlings. Parents of these hatchlings are pied x banana het pied. I know the offspring are het for pied. That's obvious. Here is my issue. He has one in particular that I want. It is fully patterned except for a tiny white tip on his tail. Breeder said that he is hesitant to say that this hatchling is extremely low white and considers it more of a marker than a very low white pied. My question is... If he only has a tiny white tipped tail... Is it pied or more likely just het?

Low white pied I would think. But let him sell it to you as a het. Does it look like a pied pattern wise?

Sort of. It's a banana and the pattern is "pied like" in spots but it's not real obvious to me comparing it to the pattern of the pied I already have. I only want another pied and liked the low white. Just didn't expect quite that low. Haha I just want to make sure that if I decide to buy him and breed him to my female, it's pied to pied genetically speaking and not just pied to het.

Can you post a couple of pictures? Maybe some of the experts can give you their opinions on visual cues.

Yes, thank you. As soon as I figure out how, I will post pictures. I am new to this forum. ;-)

What's the price? If it's fair, I say go for it. Also, with bananas it matters if they're male makers or female makers.

It really wouldn't matter honestly as the chances of said snake producing visual or het pieds is going to be the same assuming the other snake is the same being used in both cases of the snake in question. It really boils down price. If you're looking to just make visual pieds to sell, then go for hets as they will be cheaper than a visual pied.

Re: Need expert pied genetic advice
Breeder is an acquaintance of sorts and he is giving me an excellent deal. $225.00 Het, $350.00 pied with first pick of clutch. Because he is being so generous, I don't want to cherry pick any of his high white bananas that he can sell for much more. I am trying to select the lowest white banana as a courtesy (he doesn't realize I am doing this) and still land the genetics I desire.

Host your images on a site like Imgur or Photobucket, then use the Insert Image button in the advanced post tools with the direct image link.

Re: Need expert pied genetic advice
I do want visual pied offspring and a beautiful pet. I kind of want my cake and eat it too. :-) I don't mean to say that I will "settle" for het but I really want a pied so I can breed visual pied to visual pied.
