Well, any healthy Boa is an awesome animal to have. As far as opinions on speckling in acoordance with being a het trait? -- well I think there is about 1 speckled het for every 100 speckled normals. This is not a scientific number of course, but I don't personally see this to be a het "trait", but rather a BCI trait that is carried by both normals , and hets for anything. Selective breeding has reduced these characteristics as well as color enhancing.
I've owned 5 het for albinos, and only one had a good amount of speckling, most just happened to be some of the best "normal" looking boas that I've had. I think there is a certain characteristic to look for in hets as some have stated, I don't know what it is though. I wish that I did know, but I don't think that it's speckling.
This is just my personal, small-time breeder opinion. You'll only get a solid answer by doing the breeding trials. If I were you, I'd sell off some of the babies that you just had and get an Albino male (from me in about a month . . haha) and breed it to her. At the least you'll produce all hets.
