As long as one of the hets from each or any of her litters survive and breed they will continue passing on the trait. I do not know the percentage of ball pythons that make it to adulthood, so it is possible that her entire clutch is killed off before they can pass on the trait, but I would assume over a few decade time frame, if the female has, lets say 10 clutches around 5 or 6 of the neos should make it to breeding size, and of that statistically 2 or 3 would be het, and they would be doing the same passing of the genetic trait, so eventually a locality group of ball pythons should result in a decent percentage of the animals carrying the trait. So her original locality should in theory have a percentage of hets and her new location should/will carry a percentage of hets.
