For actually DOING THE BREEDING to find out! *lol* Jeff likes to create a buzz,and while I understand the presumed importance of a reliable "marker method" of identification for "possible hets",and that it may have given him the impression it worked,I honestly do not think there is any outward physical guarantee of heterozygousity (for this type of amelanism.)that could be considered "fool proof",but like anyone else,I'd love to hear it,and it would be fun to play with such a theory.recently Jeff posted on his forum the results of a breeding loan involving a "poss. het" female,bred to a Sunglow,based on the results,I would say that either his marker method is flawed,and is STILL just a best guess,OR the statistical odds were WAY south of "best case scenario",either way genetic calculations are still subject to surprise changes without notice...that's the one guarantee that is irrefutable in my experience,and is the only thing I would chisle in stone.
