Het reds are a Co-dom morph. They're not recessive. So if the breeder is telling the truth, she is a het red. Not a normal. Check out word of ball pythons to see what het reds make when combo'd with other morphs. One of my favs is het red x black pastel to get the onyx (aka gargoyle). The full name of the morph is Het Red Axanthic. Its confusing that they call a Co-dom a het..but alas, can't change the name now.
