het marker question

[ARpythons]

has anyone ever put up a thread where everyone post pics of their 100% hets of whatever morph to try and find a common marker? like for example het ghost I have heard that they all have a light spot on the head. if everyone posted pics of their het ghost into a thread then perhaps a correlation could be made. or perhaps it could be proven false. I just thought it might be a good way of proving/disproving some of these marker theories or even finding similarities in hets that aren't known to have markers. I'm just throwing this out there let me know what you guys think.

I think about 50% of all ball pythons have a light mark on their heads

There is a thread about hets with visual traits posted by me. There are some pics people posted of different hets but really no one can tell you if your het has visual markers. Its all speculation with most hets. All you can do is compare with others. Het ghost dont seem to have common traits anyway. I believe its mostly het clowns and pieds that are generally the most visible.

Personaly i believe all the talk of markers on hets to be over rated. SUre some have strange patterns , bellys flames ect but after all if a Het had a marker that was comon in all Hets surley that would change the morph from a recessive to a dominant one such as the yellow belly for example.

If a Pied always had, be it to a greater or lesser extent 'Pied markers' It would not be a recessive but a visual dominant morph and the super been the visual pied.

Just my opinion like but worthy of thought.
