    How common is the train tracks marking for het pieds?

    So, I got my first ball back in July from a show. At the time I knew nothing about morphs, but since acquiring my snake I've become more and more interested in the genetics side of the hobby. The breeder I bought my normal from told me that his brother was a pied. I wish I could talk to the breeder about this but I've lost his contact info. Basically I am wondering if my normal is possibly het for pied. He doesn't have any train track markings. From what I understand, if my snake's sibling was a pied, then they must have come from either a pied-het for pied pairing or a het-het pairing. If it was pied-het, that would make my normal 100% het and if it was het-het, my normal would be 66% het. Is that right? But I also am under the impression that het for pieds often have markings, and since my normal was sold for 20$ as a normal, is that an indication that he's probably just a normal?
