I understand that het pied markers are in no way a definitive way to pick out hets but seeing all the pre-breeding-season commotion about hets has me remembering an old thought i had. When i first got my first ball python i got her from a local breeder. Theu said they were gonna raise her up but decided to sell her. She was around +-800 grams. Ive been looking at her and wondering what would make a "breeder " decide to raise up a normal girl? Now i could be getting caught up in the breeding fever but i think she shows some pretty good het markers (or what some believe are het markers).
My reasoning is that her origins and genetics were probably somewhat known as a possible het by the previous owner, hence the reason they contemplated raising her.
Overly optimistic or am i on to something here?
