pretty much, except there is no probably. If he's a 100% het, then it means he carries one normal gene and one ghost gene. He will pass on of those two genes on to his offspring. That means if you breed him to a ghost (a snake that carries TWO ghost genes, and therefore appears as a ghost) the babies will be half ghost (the ones that get his ghost gene, along with one of moms ghost genes) and half 100% het ghost (the ones that get his normal gene along with one of moms ghost genes)

Just remember that "het" means that they APPEAR normal, but carry the gene for the recessive trait. ie ghost, albino, axanthic, etc. I really like Kevin McCurleys book, "The Complete Ball Python", for its explination of the punettte square. It does a great job of describing how to use a punette square. Even I understood it!
