    Re: Pied question

    i spoke to a few people at tinley about this

    apparently, The pied trates NEVER show on the head, the snakes almost always have a colored head with the white starting afterwards.

    Something about the gene maybe? but I had looked and from the pics I found I have to agree, it seems the pied white will not show on the head.

    Odd huh?

    Re: Pied question

    I believe that the lesser pieds do have white heads, not sure about other BEL complex pieds.

    But AFAIK, there's never been a "plain" pied with a white head.

    It is just part of the genetics of piebaldism.

    That is a brilliant question. I think it would be very neat, but idk if the genes are like that. I suppose someone could manipulate the genes and produce a white headed pied.

    Manipulate the genes? You have some newfangled bio-genetic tools nobody else has?
