    Wow, that actually throws a wrench into my confidence in genetics. So you can put a male pied with a female normal and get babies, but are those babies really het pied or was it a virgin birth? I saw the same video about Brian, the only way he knew is that all three babies looked like the mom and the timing of the egg laying was too early based on when he put the male in there. But if he was breeding a recessive and the timing was right he would have never known. That really throws into question all the het recessive genes out there, more of a gamble than I thought it would be. I wonder what the odds of a virgin birth are? I've never really heard of anyone having a female snake that laid viable eggs by herself, it was the first I've ever heard about it.
