Regardless, a lot of people sell 33 and 66 hets as normals. Are you venturing that they are being irresponsible, because the animal has a small chance at being het? Why not try and make a thread about that, see what sort of replies you get.

And back to the morphs in the wild. Where do you get an idea that our morphs brought in from Africa aren't surviving in the wild? How does that make sense in the evolutionary sense? If the morphs we're weak genes, could it not be argued that they would die out on their own, instead of being caught in the wild by humans? Cinnies, lessers, platty daddyes, pastels, ghosts, yellow bellies, spiders, toffee.... all brought in as adult animals I do believe, and people said, "Hey, lets see if this is genetic."

Let me know when you have data to back up no morphs being found and brought in from the wild. I'm sure there are importers who would like to know.
Its a fact morphs usually don't survive in the wild. there are those lucky few that do much the most don't. I mean do you walk out side an see albino animals every where? Its not that common. We are just lucky enough that some people find a few of those lucky animals.

Also in the snake world people do complain about hidden hets. if your working on a project and your expecting to hopefully get a certain percentage of one thing. You throw a new het. into the mix and its mess up everything. For example if your working on a project and it has taken years to raise the animals, breed them, feed them, house them and are working one a certain morph. Well your expecting to have say 12.5% chance of getting that special snake your working for. Well you discover that your snakes actually have a hidden het. in them and now your only have 6.5% of getting your snake. Thats how a hidden het. can ruin a project.
