No way to be certain really unless you bred it to all known recessives and didn't get any visuals. I don't know anyone that would purposely breed to prove an animal is not carrying morph genetics. Most people will assume a normal is a normal unless they know the breeding that produced it. Even if it's WC, that could still end up being het for something.
I've wholesaled het albino boas as normals before and I know other people have done the same. Most people would be extremely happy if their normal ended up proving out to be het for something unexpected.
Not sure if my answer helps or just raises more questions.
