I want a Piebald!

[Kilo]

What price range am i looking at if i wanted a Piebald(there awsome looking)?

[Shaun J]

3000-4000 Dollars at the least.

*jaw drops* snake prices are insane!!!

[Shaun J]

Hehe, you should see some other morphs and their prices. Like Bumblebees for 9 GRAND!!!!!!

I think the most affordable way to make a morph is to breed two hets. A pair of piebald hets costs 1000 dollars, but at least its not 3K

Peter Kahl, the breeder who proved out piebaldism in bp's usually sells his from 5000-6000 (bp.netter 'aaajohnson', Neil, got his pied female "Spirit" from Pete - and she's GORGEOUS!). Corey Woods hatched a few piebalds this year but I don't see any up on his available page...

If either of you remember my former post im lost on this whole HET thing... I have no clue what your are saying... if i by a Piebald it will be 3k-6k but if i buy 2 piebald HETS its only 1k that makes no sense to me what so ever.. please explain this HET thing and how it works (FULLY) so i understand. Thanks!

100% Het or heterogenous means that the animal is carring one half of the gene it takes to produce the morph. Then there is 50% and 66% that is the percent that they might be het. still with me. So here the odd's. 100% het + 100% het = say four eggs the offspring would turn out like this. 1 pied or 25 % and 2 hets and 1 normal. Now the 2 hets and the 1 normal. Thats where the 66% comes in. two of those snakes will have a 66% het chance. Then there's resesive, Dominate and co-dominate but that gets even worse to understand. for a good idea check out the www.geneticswizard.com

Hope that helps.

Strange, here in Europe prices are beginning from 3500€, hets couple 2000€.

Hets:
Every gene is a key for some characteristic, you need two of these keys to open the box

a = piebald gene
A = wildcolor animal

aa=piebald
AA= wildcolour
Aa= wildcolour heterozygote piebald (het.)
A het. animal has one key allready but the wildcolour gene is dominant over the piebal gene.

If you buy a couple het animals they are Aa.
If you compare Aa x Aa it give you 1 chance on 4 eggs is a piebald.
The genes A and a will compare with each other:
A a x A a gives:
AA 25%
Aa 50%
aa 25%

I once saw a morph online, can't remember what it was called and i haven't found it since. This was in the last year and they were asking $45,000.00Talk about INSANE

Lesser Platties run like 25 to 30 depending on where you get them.
