100% Het. Pied 0.1 Opinions?

[Gerardo]

Maybe between My picture and yours someone who has a lot of experience in pieds can identify some markers

Do you have a pic of the belly?

Honestly I'm not sure. I don't want to give you any wrong info. There are too many people that know way more than I do.

I thought that might have been what you were asking which is why I uploaded the pic of mine. Justin at Jkobylka Reptiles says mine is 66% hetpiebald.

What I am still trying to figure out is what is the difference between 66% and 100%?

100% het means that the animal is a carrier of the recessive gene, where a 66% het only has a 66% chance of carrying the gene. The 66% is a gamble of weither or not it will carry the gene.

Oh no your fine! We are interested in the same thing so its not an issue. The belly on my snake unfortunately has the typical black markings scattered across it, with no solid white area, also the "tracks" are non-visable.

Well the train tracks isnt a sure way to tell. Did you get it from a breeder?

Looks like she has some pigment loss, this sometimes happens randomly with some snakes. Here's a thread about this with some good links in post #9 (at the bottom) to other snakes that went through some color changes.

I did, I took her in on a very advantageous trade. Didn't get any paper work but was told that she had been proven out with a pied male, but to me she is way to small to be a breeder yet, so her genetics are def. up in the air.

Mine came from JKobylka. This is my first snake from him but I hear he is a very good breeder??

Thank you for the reply! That could be part of the answer here.
