A normal-looking snake cannot be het for snow, because snow is the expression of two recessive traits (anerythristic and albino). If it is carrying both these traits it's a double het.

If someone has an albino snake that is carrying the anerythristic trait recessively, than that snake is het for anerythristic. If the snake was bred to a snow, 50% of the offspring would be snows - therefore this snake could be marketed as "het for snow."

The same thing would be true of an anerythristic snake that is het for albino. It is het for snow when bred to a snow.

I hatched out the clutch below by breeding a snow male Honduran to an albino that is het for anerythristic (which is the same as het for snow when bred to a snow).
