I have seen several post sayin a snake is het for a selectively bred morph (i.e. crimson, candycane, reverse okeetee. ect. ect.). And I was just wondering what other peoples view is on this.

In the progeny program it says that you would list crimson as hypomel. So would offspring be considered het hypomel instead of het crimson? I would appreciate any explanation of how these traits would be listed.Or how they apply.
Thanks.

I prefer to think of it as a cost of living adjustment.Billybobob said:Is the extra cent your way of adjusting for inflasion?

magick-bears said:Though I do not like the term "het for" used when it comes to line bred traits I think that there is any way to stop it. It is also difficult to try and convince a hobby breeder or small breeder that they are wrong when they see some of the larger more respected breeders doing it on their web sites. In fact I just recently had to ask a highly respected breeder what was meant by het for Creamsicle Okeetee. The reply was a very logical one but IMO still could be misleading to those that don't know to ask before buying.
