Oh, no, Aaron, don't worry--he hasn't scared me off! Michael, thanks for the kind words, but really--you're _such_ a flatterer!

So, Erik, we've totally hi-jacked your thread about your 1.2 het pied balls--what are your plans? You must have some sort of breeding schedule in mind!

Seems Sandy here is a good sport, I'm not too worried about scaring her off. This topic has gotten totally off topic though, I apologize for that...
I would take your male het pied and breed it to something co-dom like a spider, pastel, pinstripe, cinny, enchi.. hold back the visible mophs poss. het pied females and prove them out. Then get the two het pied ladies working for their food and make little baby pieds.
I'm breeding my male pied this year to a few super pastel females and a few lesser girls until my female pieds are ready to go.
Here's my group:

I hate you. I'm entirely jealous. Breed the male to a pinstripe. It's what I would do!

LadyParvati · 12-01-08, 11:26 AM

What a gorgeous group! That's the only way I like the white. Erik and Michael are going to have some very interesting babies someday . . .

Hahaha, hijack away! It was getting to be fair comedy.

Yeah, I'm going to breed as I can, then hold back the adult hets and any visuals that may come around. I should have adults I'll be able to breed the following season, then season after that I should be able to breed the visuals either to each other or back to the known hets.

Pretty soon, I'll be smothered in pieds, that will be cool!

**Aaron_S** · 12-01-08, 02:18 PM

Send some my way then

LadyParvati · 12-01-08, 03:17 PM

Surely you'd rather your exciting new pieds be the center of attention rather than our "fair comedy"!

Maybe by the time you are ready to share babies I'll be ready to branch out into a different morph! At this rate, you'll have every one of the offspring sold before you ever get any!

I'm going to revive this thread with some genetics questions.

For those with pieds and het pieds, have you seen the spied? (Spider x pied) I've only seen a picture, one picture and the only part that wasn't white was the head. Which really kind of bothered me. I would have liked to seen if the body would have taken the spider pattern. Does anyone think that the pied genetics just sort of takes over the dominant genes? It was the same with the super black pastel x pied.

I'm just curious because I thought the pinstripe pied would look rather cool.

PDXErik · 12-03-08, 11:16 AM

The amount of white is believed to be purely random. I'm certain there are other spider x pieds that have more of the pattern on them. Pied does screw with the patterning, though, so it would be interesting to see what it does.

I'm curious to know if there are factors that can change the amount of white. Is it really random? If the eggs are incubated at 89.5 vs 90 or 89? Does 88% humidity during development bring different results than 92%?

I don't like those 90% white pieds, 70% MAX, if I wanted a white snake, (lol, whitesnake) I would go get a lucy.

mykee · 12-03-08, 03:56 PM

I'll be honest, the ony crosses I like with pieds is the abino pied and the super cinny pied, only because the pied gene bitchslaps any co-dom gene into oblivion and it really isn't even worth doing if you can't see it. I want to SEE the time an effort that was put into the animal.

PDXErik · 12-03-08, 04:25 PM

Like a pied super black pastel.

Glauugugu uu mmmmmmm.

Same thing as the super cinnamon

The albino pieds look very nice. The snake keeper has pied clowns! They don't look much different than the pieds though. I think the pastel pieds are decent, and a super pastel pied might be something interesting to see.

Otherwise I agree with Mykee, it's not that great unless you can SEE the two morphs.
