If the snake is het for snow and it is either Anery or Albino it would then be a visual het. I know that there were some folks a while back saying that they could tell an Albino het by their eyes, but I never really heard if that ever proved true or not. The same would work for any multi genetic trait snake, such as sunglows, ghosts or others, they are visual for one trait but still carry the other.
I don’t think you can have a visual het for a single genetic morph?
