"Het" in snakes refers to a genetic trait known as heterozygous, meaning the snake carries a recessive gene for a particular trait without showing it. When breeding snakes, knowing if a snake is "het" for a specific trait is important for predicting the likelihood of offspring inheriting that trait. Breeding two "het" snakes for the same trait can result in offspring that express the trait, while breeding a "het" snake with a non-"het" snake can produce offspring that are also "het" for the trait.
