Anyway, many people never prove possible hets because they don't want to try.

I always used to say that I would never do a breeding myself that could produce possible hets (eg, het x het), because I want to know what I'm producing and offering for sale.

Somehow I got started on the poss het collecting kick, though ... Just seems like a fun little gamble! I know I'd never be able to afford to buy all of the morphs that are possible het for recessives outright if they were definite hets, and if even a few prove out, I am way ahead on my investments and have put myself several years ahead on a number of projects. (Now of course after all this talking, watch nothing will prove out ... )
