    Looks like a Normal to me as well. With hets, the only way to really know is to breed them out. Some het morphs have certain visual markers, but many do not.

    She is pretty either way. Congrats on picking her up

    The term "het" is short for heterozygous. Basicly that means it carries one half of a gene to make a morph. Recessive traits (albino) for example need both haves of the gene to look different than a normal. Saying your snake is het means it has one half of the gene. It's very tough to know what it's het for if you can't remember what the person said. Hets don't show what they are. You would have to breed to the opposite sex snake that was het for the same thing to know for sure. So if you don't know what she is there are dozens of possibilities. Hope this helps.

    Thanks, I thought she looked normal. as for the het I do not know anyone with an albino, and not on my list to buy. Thanks for input. just gonna be a normal female breeder for me. one more for the collection. I have bad luck with odds and 66% het. is not good enough odds for me to constitute buying an albino.

    Get a Co Dom Het Albino male...

    OR, get a male Albino and female Albino or female 100% Het. Work this girl into the Albino project and if you prove her out, bonus time.
