I have hets that look like the one I posted and I have them that look like the one you posted. I also produced normal that also looked like yours and mine. I agree that recessive can change the look of a het. but for someone to say that they can be 100% at picking them out (not saying you said this) I would like to see it done with 50 to 100 snakes. I would be glad if there was a way. I hate making photo I.D's
what I look for in certain hets isn't that interesting, I buy from some that's trusted and I also look for a photo I.D.
a photo I.D. is only as good as the person supplying it.
