I have an adult male that I found a couple of months ago, that has the marker (tail stripes) for being het pied. I have had a few reputable knowledgable breeders look at him. And they have all said the same thing, that he is showing the markers but with out paperwork there are no guarantees. He has great qualities, mainly being a great feeder ( F/T rats ) and easy to handle. I am looking at a 100% het pied female proven breeder that can be bred next year for 800$ is that a fair price? The way I am looking at it is this, if my male proves out great, if he doesn't I can buy a male pied next year(hopefully prices will be a little lower) and by the time he is mature she will be ready again to breed. Thoughts, opinions, yada yada! LOL. Or do I just say screw it, place him as a pet, buy a female pied to eventually put with my really smokin' mojave boy, and just be done with it.
