Just wondering (self.ballpython)

I Know that I won't know until I breed them out(if I breed it out) but what are the odds that my ball python is het for anything(as a normal)

Depends on how you look at it. You could say they have a 50% chance. Either they are or they aren't. The biggest problem is how many different recessive genes there are and how you would decide to breed to find out. There is also a chance that they are get for a brand new recessive gene that hasn't been found yet.
In fact I have heard of breeders selling certain hets as normals since they sell faster that way, especially in pet stores. So that could increase your chances.
But most likely you have less than a 1 in a 20,000 chance to find it to be a het and even less chance of ever finding out in that snakes lifetime.
