What are the odds?!

"Het" means it is a recessive gene and the animal carries it but does not show it. So axanthic for example is recessive... It takes 2 copies of the axanthic gene to show but if the snake only has one it is then a het axanthic.

Het is short for heterozygous. Het is the colloquial term for individuals that carry the gene for recessive traits.

(That is the most basic description, I am no genetics master, so if any bigger breeders would like to correct me, please do so!)

Het is not just used to describe recessives. so that is not a good way to explain it.

Pastels are Hets too but they don't look like Normals...
