So, it was bath time for the little het pied we snagged for 40 bucks at the november reptile show. He was TINY when we got him and I'm am not 100% sure but I think he may actually be a VERY VERY low low low pied. Check out the pictures below! Thoughts and opinions are very much appreciated!

Also, directly above the patch we found, there are about 3 white scales.

Please excuse:
1. our carpet looks like...err... body hair of sorts with the macro lens on the digital camera
2.Yes, that's a pine needle. We just got our xmas tree yesterday XD

He's not a pied. Breeders know what to look for on snakes they breed especially if it could be a $700-$800 mistake. Hets of any recessive usually have lots of blushing, plus from what I can see of the belly it doesn't look like a pied. Still a great looking snake and hopefully you can produce your own pied with him someday. Good luck. Chris Hall

The pattern would be much different if it were a pied I have seen half a snake that was white with a normal pattern its still a ringer

Pieds usually have some amount of white but also have a distinct looking pattern. If you have to use a macro lense, chances are, it is not a Pied. I hope you get some Pied babies one day...
