Example: a breeder says that a snake is 50% het for piebald...or 100%...whatever percent.

How can the buyer tell if this is true other than taking the word of the breeder. No offense to any breeder or questioning anyone's integrity...just asking a question. Thanks!

If this answer is already posted somewhere, please just let me know. Thanks again.
The only way to tell is by the parents.. 100% means that one of the parents was homozygous for that trait. 50% simply means that one of the parents was 100% het for that trait.

The percentages is nothing more than the chance each egg has at being Het for that trait is all..
