You do understand that a 66% het "looks" just like a normal ball python right?Originally Posted by white_gorilla_x
It just may or may not be carrying the gene to make piebalds. You have to put in the work in order to figure that out ... that's why they're so affordable.
If you make the purchase, you'll have to raise it up ... breed it to a female ... keep all (or some, but all is a better idea) of the female offspring ... raise them up for 3 years and breed them either back to their dad or to another known het pied male (or pied male). If you get pieds, you'll know that you're 66% het male was in fact carrying the gene ... if you don't get pieds, then he either isn't carrying the gene or you just missed on the odds.
The point of selling possible hets is that for someone that has more time and patience than money, they are a great way of getting into a very expensive breeding project.
