Can recessive genes show through?

[Madness420]

i just bought a normal motley corn snake and i can see in her colors that she slightly resembles a caramel motley. the breeders told me there was a degree of unknown in reguards to the possible hets, so it is very possible she carries the caramel gene. the thing is she looks almost half normal and half caramel. if she is het caramel, is it possible for it to slightly affect her appearance in the direction of caramel?
