And in case he's still looking for an answer

Het (short for heterozygous) means simply that the snake is carrying the recessive gene for that trait. The snake doesn't show the trait, but is able to produce some offspring with it if paired with a snake that is either homozygous or heterozygous for the same trait.
 
right i will try to explain with what i know . . .. ARRRGH!! lol

I will go with what snake i have . . .i have an amel corn snake . I will probably be getting an anery corn quite soon, but i dont know . . .

If i bred the amel and the anery together, it would produce all normal looking babies. They would be heterozygous (HET) for amel, & anery, which would in this case make the babies double heterozygous (as they carry two seperate genes from their parents). I think you call these the F1 generation (i dont know what that stands for!)

Right . . . .wait a couple of years and keep two of your F1 generation back then breed them together... this will produce F2 generation. From this F2 generation, when they hatch out you will get a mixture of normals, amels, snows, and anery's . . . .

I THINK!!! LOL somebody please correct me if i am wrong as i am still learning . . .

Sorry if i have gone completley off-topic but this is what i had to understand before i could understand what het meant!!!

Amel + Anery B (Charcoal) = normals dh blizzard
normal dh blizzard + normal dh blizzard = normals, amels, charcoals, blizzards
 
yeah i read that, , , , ,

i think i would rather have a type a rather than a type b as i get more variety with breeding type a anerythristic f2 generation together . . .
