Anery? Ghost? Stripe? Motley!?

If you'd like me to I will gladly help. Did you make those hets up in your head or are they poss hets? I don't claim to be an expert, but I can tell you I'm very observant and have called some hets before on AFTs and Ball Pythons. I'm sorry if you take offense to the fact that I'm observant, but I don't see where your argument is. I mean I work with a multitude of species, I've spoken with various breeders who back up the het markers claim. I mean if you have an issue with me simply suggesting that there are many recessive traits that are clearly some sort of incomplete dominant, don't be condescending, asking me to ID your pet's hets. Just call me out.
 
It was a badly worded-half-call-out-kinda-sorta-not. I may be too skeptical about het markers, and you may be too adamant about them. Reality for both of us is likely in the middle.

Those hets/homos are what Vanay is being tested for this year. He was a pet-store snake, so I have no genetic history on him.

His anery-ugly thread should give you all the pics you need, if you're willing to put your knowledge to a (silly) test!
 
So you're making up the hets your testing him for. I'm assuming you're breeding him to an animal that carries those traits?

If someone wants to call me out, just do it please. Makes it much easier.

As far as het markers, many of them are very subtle, and are difficult to pick out, but a well trained eye can do it.
 
He's been bred to a butter het diffused, a ghost het amel, and hopefully soon my pewter will be ready.

I've been skeptical about het markers ever since masque proved to be a separate trait that either caused or mimics the 'het diffused' look. The anery I got as my first snake has split belly checkers, and threw offspring with the same and slightly widened brow bands, but is NOT het diffused.
 
I looked at your snake and I think he's het Diffused, and maybe Caramel. I also think he's homo Charcoal, because of how dark he was as a baby. I am on my Blackberry so I'll take a better look when I get to the house. Your concern is understandable. With Ball Pythons the Leopard gene popped out of the Pieds, and was thought to be the reason for the markers but it turned out it wasn't.
 
In the US, calling someone out is like, telling them you don't agree with what they're saying or how they're saying it.

Yes David I agree but what I am saying is. If you call anyone out it’s considered fighting talk.
Any way sorry that I have gone off topic. Asked and answered
As you where. Carry on:-offtopic

Don't be. I have a feeling that not all the posts in this thread have been read, just yours. They apparently have no clue about your discussion with Megan concerning het markers and her asking what you think of Vanay. He has been a mystery and the results of the matings will be very interesting to see. I'm thinking he will prove out to be an anery charcoal het hypo diffuse.
 
Dave, in reference to your question about broken patterned Tessera's still being called Tessera, I believe that Don S. told Tara that these Tessera's can & still do produce full stripe Tessera's (correct me if I'm wrong Tara).
 
I will admit there is still a tiny tiny part of me that hopes his funky head pattern is due to being het sunkissed. XD
 
You never know! Yesterday at work I was feeding some Ball Pythons, and I was thinking about this subject. I was looking at some het Albino Ball Pythons and every single one of them had a jungle pattern, very interesting. I think a lot of our recessive traits are more or less incomplete dominant.
 
Chromatophores with melanin pigmentation regards to Melanophores or pteridines as a reference to Xanthophores.
Iridophores, unlike the other two types of chromatophores, contain primary forms of puines deposits in reptiles which are guanine, hypoxanthine, and adenine. These deposits are crystalline.
Interesting how Google pigmentation in genetics can be so simplified :eek1:
