>By definition, het is one normal gene paired with one morph gene.

It's a bit more complicated than that. Heterozygous means that the two genes in a gene pair are not the same. Usually this means a normal gene paired with a morph gene. But it could also mean two different morph genes. An example of this is the paradigm boa constrictor, which has a Sharp albino mutant gene paired with a Sharon Moore caramel mutant gene.
