100% Het. Pied 0.1 Opinions?

[Gerardo]

Yes Justin Kobylka is a great person to work with but he sold you the snake as 66% het. I meant if you bought a any 100% het its better to buy from a reputable breeder.

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

Yes, Justin has a very solid reputation. But, the snake you bought from him is only possibly het for pied. So you didn't pay for a het pied, and are taking the chance that the snake does not carry the gene. This is info is all up front when he lists the animal as "66% pied." Hope this helps. Good looking snake either way.

I understand that. And even if she doesn't prove out it's no big deal. I just figured he was a lot better than most at picking out the possible Hets? maybe I'm wrong?

[Gerardo]

It depends. If you talk to a breeder specifically about it then he will pick the one he might think has the best chance to prove out. If you just buy a 66% het the breeder might just grab a random 66% het and send it.

Awesome!Thanks for the info

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.

This definitely looks like what this girl has! Found a very similar case, seems to match pretty well. Thank you!

[Gerardo]

When did her color change?

[Justgettingby22]

Im not certain, if they even did at all. I was told by the previous owner that she has always had these colors.

Hello, Im new to the forum but wanted to get some opinions on a "supposed" 100% Het. Pied female. Im mostly interested in the very odd yellow color sections along her dorsal pattern. Iv'e attempted to find similar color markings on other BP's but haven't had any luck. What do you guys think? Thanks in advance!

Sorry - Can't see any Pied gene markers from here

Re: The bright patches...
it's where an animal has shed 'early', and extra pigmentation (more than usual) has come off with the shed
nearly always reverts back to its normal colour over the next 2-3 sheds

Here is my 66% het pied female I got from JKobylka Reptiles, if you want something to compare to.

BTW I'm not real sure what your actual question is..

I'd bet my hat she is a het

I'm hoping so. Although I got her paired with a YB het pied also (if you can see what Im shooting for here, lol) so if she's not hopefully at least he is.

She was hissing and nipping right outa the bag so just maybe a good sign! 😉

Later
