2 hets do what?

[hoo-t]

I guess we just define "probability" differently. My way of thinking of it is that probability is a measure of chance.

Think of it this way, a flipped coin in the air has a 50% probability (chance) of landing heads up. However, once it has landed all probability (chance) is removed; it either is heads up or it is not heads up.

So it is with hets. They either are or are not. I think people use the 100% to indicate it is indeed an actual het while the 50% and 66% ones are still "coins up in the air yet to land" as it were.



I agree it is good to clear things up

You're absolutely right. Once the coin has landed "heads" it has no chance of being "tails" - 0% probability. But I see your point, and I agree. But, its a common practice in the ball python world to advertise hets as "100%". So whether we like it or not, we have to consider it. Its kinda like the whole co-dominance vs incomplete dominance thing. Co-dominance is most likely not an accurate description of what we consider to be co-dominant traits in ball pythons. But it is so widely used, that we really can't avoid it.
