What are Pieds? (Jinx)

[asplundii]

it is my understanding (granted i am a mere "reader") that the wild type looking hets are just that: of the wild type phenotype.. and for a gene to be considered incomplete dominant (completely eliminating all other variables such as other genes), when it carries only one of the genes, you don't have a wild type phenotype. i understand that many people claim they can pick out pastel het clowns, but i havent seen this claim made with "normal" het clowns, at least not often.. but it's also a good possibility i haven't read enough. can WT phenotype clown or hypo hets be picked out with any sort of accuracy? if so, then we shouldn't consider them a WT phenotype at all, and if not, would they not still be considered recessive since a WT looking snake that is het for the gene still has a normal phenotype, regardless of how that single gene may affect the appearance of a snake that already has a not so normal phenotype?

Creepin'

It is like I said in my post in reference to Brant's comment about breeding to a super form:

... it does not mean that there is no heterozygous effect you breed to a normal, only that the effect in normals is often very very subtle but when bred to a super that effect becomes much more apparent.

If you know what you are looking for you can pick the hets from the non-hets in a WT breeding, the difference is there, it is just that it is very subtle. At least as far as Pied goes. As I noted above, I have not been looking in to Clowns as much so I cannot say the same with any high level of confidence for them.
