There's a difference between a het - which implies an animal is carrying a simple recessive genetic trait and "showing influence" which is not a simple recessive genetic trait.
A corn snake can have Okeetee influence (not recessive) or even Yellow Rat Snake influence (not recessive). As stated in the quote I took from the CSM the hyererythristic characteristics are expressed in varying degrees in offspring - that's not the charcteristic of a simple recessive genetic trait.
