By the way.. a little hint, sort of. The marker is FAR more obvious in babies. Once they hit 3' or more, it is much less reliable. I have gotten all the babies that I have been able to observe and prove out as hets. So 100% so far on identifying babies. That is no fewer than 12 individuals. My record with larger, that is 6' or longer animals, is 9 correct and 2 unconfirmed yet or likely wrong. Those are pretty good odds. One of the non-het animals I had hoped was a het, just had a huge litter born about two weeks ago. She was one of the two I had gotten incorrect. I was only able to check her after I had raised her up to about 5'. Now at just about 10' she was enormous and she was bred by a Sunglow male. The litter consisted of no Sunglows or Albinos. Tell me I wasn't depressed. Very disappointed indeed.
