"Het" stands for heterozygous, which means the boa has only 1 gene for that trait. It really doesn't matter if the trait is recessive, dominant, or co-dominant. So a 'dh' sunglow is a boa that is heterozygous for the hypo gene and heterozygous for the albino gene as well. Really I think that it is just easier to say 'dh sunglow' than 'hypo het albino', but you'll find a lot of people saying both versions. Hope this helps.
