How can u tell if ur python is a het or not???

And they hopefully don't have scars all over them like the snake in your photo.............

the snake that has the scares in that photo i got for free from petco one day when i went to get a mouse. the previous owner was a 5 year old girl and kept it in a 5 1/2 gallon tank. her parents finally decided to give it away cuz she wasnt taking care of it and they gave it to petco. since i went to the petco everyweek i knew a bunch of the people that worked there and they asked if i wanted another python. so i took her home and now she is very healthy and hey scars are almost gone but there are still a couple little marks that u can see. also when i got her she was very very skiny and didnt look very healthy at all. but no she is fatining up. ill post new pics of her soon.

It depends on what it's het for. If it's a co-dominant or dominant mutation such as pastel, spider, or mojave then the hets are mutants. If it's a completely recessive mutation such as albino then you need to either know what it's parents where or breed it and produce the homozygous mutation to know.
