"pied markers"

[lillyorchid]

I was told that het pieds have special markings on them and that is how you know that they have that gene.

I've googled and searched but I can't find anything on this. Is it true? If so what do these "pied markers" look like? If you have a het pied, post picture please?

PS. Sorry if this makes no sense, I'm still trying to get a grasp on the whole thing.

I have been told a few times that it is a myth.

Pied markers mean absolutly nothing, some people were useing that to sell possible hets.

basically it is still not a 100% marker for the pied trait. some with markers prove out and some don't. hets without markers prove out just as much also.

And some bp's with black, brown, gold/yellow and white are proven out to be normal ball pythons...go figure

my het pied male doesn't have the marker trait but he fathered several possible hets that do. we'll see if they prove out.
