Anyone know if this head pattern has any significance as a het marker for anything? This male was purchased a couple years ago and is said to be het albino but no paperwork with him.
Not trying to alude to the idea that this marker is some sort of het albino trait.
Just curious if any of you have balls with this mark and has it seemed genetic or beneficial?

I have a neat female with a wild labrynth pattern that posseses the same head marking. Im tempted to breed them together this year. Im having a hard time letting go of a big female thats breeding a visual morph for a male thats probably normal. But theres that curiosity about the compatibility of the mark.

Thanks
Brendan
