He doesn't have great het pied markers, but that doesn't matter, not all het pieds have them. Also, not all snakes that have the het pied markers are het pied. It's more of a confirmation when looking into het pieds, but not a guarantee. The breeder male you pictured of mine was exceptional to say the least. I regret letting go of him (one of my dumber moves for sure), but it is possible he had something else going on. I am watching his female offspring grow and she definitely looks firefly. Won't know anything until she breeds tho...
