Question for buying poss het pieds or poss het albino

[Maddumpling]

What do you look for in a poss het albino or pied if you wanted to buy it? Do the markers for het pieds really make a difference for you guys? I'm trying to decide which poss het to get but just wanted to get opinions before I buy.

if you buy from a reputable breeder you won't have to worry about markers

You arent answering my question though lol. IF you are looking for a POSSIBLE het albino or het pied, what do you look for. And for POSSIBLE het pieds, do the markers really tell you something or what not. Have you guys proved out hets that didnt have the marker.

my bad. i have no experience with identifying markers but most het. albinos i have seen have a bit of a reduced pattern but nothing abnormal

Het albinos don't really have makers, but I've heard they tend to have more white in their alien heads. My 66% het albino female looks pretty normal. I doubt she'll prove out, but I like her anyway. She's a nice girl with a rather busy pattern. She's not reduced at all.
My normal female looks more 'unique' than the possible het.

If I were to choose a 100% het pied from a group of possibles, I would definitely use the markers. However, if I were to choose a snake with the markers out of a random bunch of snakes, I would not go by the markers. Some normals carry the markers too.
