Paul in my experience this hypo trait manafests in the het state. The possible hets that have proven out to be hets have also been the lightest and brightest of the clutch. I don't price them differently because coastals can show a wide range of variability in a given clutch but its proven out time and again, at least in my mind, that the most colorful have been actual hets.

To top this off Dan D and Carl B were over my place many years back when I showed them a definate het produced by breeding my original male to a w/c female. Dan missed the piece about the snake being captive-bred and only heard w/c. When he saw the snake he got all excited saying that "this snake looks like a gene carrier". This to me indicated that Dan too has seen the pattern of lighter colored animals being het.

In any case I will be VERY surprised if your "possible" het turns out not to be a het. Any chance you could post a pic of her again?
