It's not about markers with het hypos, it's all about the color change and adding flames/blushing to whatever it touches.
Can you say for a fact a snake is a het hypo just by looking at it, not if you don't know where it came from.
We bred a black pastel 100% het hypo X a normal and produced this black pastel 50% pos het hypo
There's little doubt this male will prove out as a 100% het hypo, he's more orange than some hypo black pastels I've seen
Naysayers will be naysayers, but everything a het gene touches it effects, no different than breeding a visual het(pastel, etc).
We also bred the black pastel 100% het hypo to an albino and produced some super nice black pastel 100% het albino 50% pos het hypo's ...
Some turned out very orange in color
some turned out much like any other dark black pastel
Taking a snake that has an unknown history and trying to apply het to it just by looks alone isn't something I even bother trying to do.
The snake your holding definitely has the het hypo look
