Spider poss het ghost! HELP!

[Jking21]

Hello ther guys im a beginner just getting into the hobby ive done reaserch and stuff but i cant always find an answer to the question im looking for. I recently purchased a spider ball python at repticon. He was the last spider left and he just happend to be poss het ghost. Im not really familiar with how to look for het markings... is there something i should look for? I bought a female pastel and a female lesser to breed to him in the future i would like to get a ghost female as well but idk if im better off to try to prove him out or just not worry about it for now and get something else. All help and advice qould be appreciated.

Do you think i should get a ghost and try to prove him out or something that is 100% het for ghost?

poss. = 33% or lower...its up to you but if you are just getting into it then it may be easier to just treat him as a spider.

i would just consider it a spider.

I have produced a few pos het clutches, I'm 2 for 2 on picking out pos het hypos so far. In a entire clutch, some will be lighter than the rest, those are more than likely the hets. Now a single animal without a reference, you can't really tell. IMO it's not worth proving out a spider het hypo, compared to a female hypo, It really not that much more to just buy a honeybee.

You are wrong. A poss het is anything less than 100%. Why else would there be 50% and 66% poss hets. All the poss part means is that one or more parent carries the gene. The percentages let you know if it was one or both parents that carry the gene.
