the males a 100% het pied and i have a number of "het pied" females...the original breeder of the females closed down shop and i bought them as a gamble from another breeder. The snake in the first picture came from a ltc female which was in captivity for 10-15 years and no known lock ups ... The only exposure to other snakes was to a male 50% het pied on cleaning days... so when my buddy had to part with it i bought that as a gamble too... shes fairly orange and some of her siblings were INTENSE orange...so for the price i wasnt going to pass on her lol Heres a picture of a het pied... and two gambling snakes

If you ever decide that the python in the lower right of that picture isn't worth the gamble... I'll be happy to accept the risk. Beautiful looking python.

Even if your female turns out to be 100% Homozygous for Wild Type... normal females are still priceless in a breeders collection (at least as far as I'm concerned).

Good luck, though, hopefully she'll prove out for you.
