so in order to find out probably nothing will pop out this year but i will have to breed the offspring back to him to find out correct ?
Yes that is correct, but you will still only have a percentage of the hatchlings that will be het, so it's a hit or miss guess.

And I think he meant that it might be a double het, which is what het for ghost is. (Het for Albino and Axanthic).

You can never visually tell what an animals heterozygous genes are just by looking at it, though sometimes hets show unique traits, but they are not consistent enough to be counted on.

Even if you got all the animals from the same place, quarantine is essential. Especially if you got them at separate times, one thing can pop up at a breeder later down the road.
