That's when the fun begins. You need to breed them with a homozygous mutation (one showing the trait).
For example: If you want to know if that normal looking hatchling was het for 'albino', you would need to grow it up to breeding age and pair it with an 'albino'. If it is a het, half the offspring will be 'albino' and the other half will be normal-looking, but hets.
This works for all autosomally recessive mutations. I haven't heard of any sex-linked mutations in snakes - does anyone know if there are any?
