Did Pete say the marker theory was invented by people to sell poss hets, or did he say that it was exploited to sell poss hets.
I agreed that what Jen said was factual, but it wasn't a joke. It is certainly not 100%. When she called it a joke it sounds like it is a scam, like on the ads where everyone tries to sell a normal as the next new morph. When I sell my hets, I point out the marker.
I know it isn't 100%, no one ever claimed it was. I know there are plenty of snakes with the marker that have no connection to pieds. I'm sure someone has found some of these with markers and sold them as possible hets to exploit the marker theory. On the other hand, in years past when I bred a few clutches of het to het, or het to normal I was glad to see the ones with markers. I kept all of them anyway.
I just took a quick count of the 100% hets I have (all produced by myself), the ones with the markers out numbered the ones without 21-3.
