	Heterozygous Heterozygous - the animal carries the gene for a genetic trait but does not outwardly demonstrate the trait. Example: A boa that is het for albino looks normal but carries the albino gene. When it is bred to another het for albino boa or an albino boa, a percentage of the offspring will be albino.

Impossible to know my friend, you can't tell just by looking at them,you have to breed them out and see what pops out. Or find out by the breeder. Not all boas are het for something either(most aren't unless you paid a good price).

Generally speaking, "high pink" is not a heritable trait like amelanism or anerythrism.

Just about the only way you'll be able to find out if she's het for anything is to breed her to males that are homozygous for various simple recessive traits and see whether or not she produces any offspring that are homozygous for that trait.
