Normal Or Not ???

[Teresa]

Let me start by saying that this girl is a pos. het. She does have some unusal traits. Her belly has a pixel look to it and her tounge is just not the same as others. Needless to say she will be bred next year if I can get her eating; and she is going to be bred to a visual. Do you all think she is unusal in looks or just a normal. One member here does know what this snake is and has seen her in person and suggested to ask the fourm about her.

Nice Reduced pattern Normal

I don't consider a reduced pattern my male is what I consider a reduced pattern.

Ummm...what does a possible het look like? I'm no genetics genius, but I thought hets just looked like any other normal. You have found a way to tell a normal from a het?

I think it was a joke "Nice normal looking snake"

I'm confused....

Please take this the right way: I have eight normal ball pythons, and also have 7 ball pythons that are 100% het for different recessive genetic morphs ( albino, caramel albino, and pied ). To tell you the truth other than my het pied male they all look 100% normal. The only reason my het pied male looks different is because of his ringer which doesn't assure his heterozygous genetics. The only thing that assures me of that is the parents of him.

I'm just trying to be educational when I say, and I've learned from hard lessons the only way you can tell if an animal is het for any trait is know the parents, or breed it to another het or better your chances by breeding it to a homozygous for ( visual morph ).

As for the ball python in the pictures. It looks 100% normal. I woke up 3 of my normal females to compare, and they agree that they could be twins with your snake. BUT... It does in fact have a very nice pattern, and light coloration.

So anyway nice normal possible het. As everybody else though I've gotta ask what is it het for?

Im not quite sure what your asking....

Are you asking what she could be het for?
