I was considering posting. Jeff may have a marker to pick out hets., but that doesn't mean that all hets. have this marker. Let's say Jeff takes a litter of possible hets. and picks out the boas with his marker. They may all be hets. It sounds as though he has been 100% accurate with this technique. However, in those babies that are tossed aside and do not have the marker, there may still be some hets. Jeff has done a great thing. Now breeders can pick out their keepers and raise to produce albinos, sunglows, etc. I still believe that all the other babies should still be sold as 66% hets. Until someone keeps a large number of those babies without the marker, which is unlikely to happen since Jeff has found one, we still don't know that babies without bright eyes are not hets. Just as the case of a super hypo, there are "markers" that lead to the probability of a boa being super, but there have been supers without these "markers". That's all I got.
