I have a normal and am suspicious of het pied markers. Do you he's got them?

[Felecia]

I recently obtained a normal male from someone who was rehoming him, and had gotten him from a small pet store who got him from who-knows-where. He has a clear belly and nearly complete solid lines down the lower part of his tail. Probably nothing, and I don't plan on breeding him out, but it'd be fun to know what you think.

Belly is clean, do you have more pictures?

Yes those are markers similar to het pied markers but it does not mean anything, I have seen normal with similar markers and het pieds without markers.

The only way to tell would be to breed him but I don't know many people who would waste their time breeding a male like this considering the prices of guaranteed Het Pieds

Only way to know is to breed him, but I would suspect normal. This is a normal I produced, no pied genes in him even though he has great markers and was even a ringer. I wouldnt get your hopes up.

I agree. Could be. But I would assume it's not. And het male pieds are so cheap I wouldn't even bother trying to prove him out. That clutch would be better sired by a 100% het.

Right, I have no intention of breeding him to try and prove it out, although it could be fun if I got lucky. I would like to breed him in the future to a dominant gene female, like a pastel or pinistripe. I just wondered what y'all thought.

Hi, my het pieds have speckled bellies and markers, not sure if the speckles are indicative.
