its a friend of mine, but even he said it had no guarantees so at least he is being honest with me...will see what happens with the other one first... |

Its all down to trust really, unless you see parents, the egg laid and hatch.
so true... |

its your choice but personally i wouldnt buy anything wihtout paperwork if i need the 'het' for breeding... |

so it is just a case of taking a chance..the animal came from Hamm, but no paperwork...it is local to me, but i am not sure yet as i have my eyes on another...plus my baby in the summer...
he is a nice royal though, much lighter than Peanut. |

Theres nothing visual you can look out for. Some people say that there are markers on some hets but its not on every het animal. |

Het is non visual im affraid. some people say there are markers for some recessive genes(im seen the pied ones) but they are not always 100%.
I would suggest that you ask for paperwork on any 'hets' you are thinking about buying. |
