Genetics are complicated. Consider a ball python heterozygous for Ivory. This animal is commonly referred to as a yellowbelly, and there are markers. Clearly there's more than one gene at play.
With other traits, heterozygous animals are not easily identified.

It's called a co-dominate trait. I wouldn't call it a "marker" Its a morph on its own. Techincally yes it is heterozygous tho.
ruling out all co-dominate traits, the only one i've herd of is that alot of ringer ball pythons turn out to be het pied. but not all hets are ringers and not all ringers are hets. but if you had a choice between 2 possible hets and one was a ringer, that be your best bet.
