this is where a lot of breeders make honest mistakes. if the female is the visual then it's 100% het. if you use a visual male then no. my largest project is with the clown. all my females in the clown project starts as virgins and are dedicated only to visual clown males. this reduces my chances greatly that one of the hatchlings isn't het for clown. my worry is parthenogenesis or gynogenesis, so if my whole clutch is females and are just like mom, it will get my attention. the big mistake that many make is a female has a clutch of eggs, the breeder thinks they can go and breed it to anything they want now. even after a female has a clutch of eggs, she still can retain sperm. think about it, you know this happens a lot. I had emailed tracy barker of V.P.I. who confirmed this.
