Significance of orange color near tail?

[pretends2bnormal]

Technically, all the simple hereditary genes we talk about with BPs have hets.... The difference is whether the gene is visually expressed. Pinstripe expresses the same whether heterozygous or homozygous.

Piebald only visually expresses in the homozygous form. So the heterozygous animals appear normal, but they still have a copy of the gene which can be passed on to offspring

Yes, you're correct. I didn't have much time to type. And I definitely could have worded it a bit better.. I only meant that there would be no non-visible "het" like on a recessive morph like pied.

A normal looking BP cannot be a het pinstripe. No one calls a heterozygous pinstripe as "het pinstripe", only as "pinstripe".
