....every Colombian Boa I ever had would have their belly turn very pink right before a shed.

It is impossible to know at a glance if a snake is het for something by the very nature of the term. Homozygous means that the trait (amelanism, anerythrism, genetic striping, etc...) is visually expressed, while heterozygous means the trait is carried in the genetic code, but not visually expressed. The only way to know that is to have reliable information from the breeder, which I can assume you don't have.
