Get what you like.
Piebald is a recessive gene. This means that the snake must get a copy of the gene from both parents to look like a piebald.
Het means the snake carries 1 copy of the gene. The snake LOOKS normal, because it only has one copy of the gene, so if you got one, you could produce hets and normals, depending on which gene gets passed on. The issue is you wouldn't know which were which until you bred them.
The 100% part just means the person KNOWS it is het. Let's say you breed a pied to a normal. The babies would all get a pied gene from dad, and a normal from mom, making them all het pied. You call them 100% het pied because you are 100% sure they are het.
