If this is the case what was the original pairing to get the mother? I ask because as it stands to get the fathers offspring to be 66% the father would have to been bred to a 100% het female. And if the father produced a granite he would be considered 100% and thus the mother would be 50% and not 66%.
Now if the father was bred to a "normal" or another snake not carrying the granite gene then the babies would all be 33% het for granite and not 66%
The good news in either case if this mother produced a granite then the odds were really in your favour

The original pair were produced in the Jeff Benfer project of pastel checkered x granite checkered. They are both pastel checkered 66% het for granite checkered. This pair have only been bred to each other and the daughter from the original pair bred to her father and produced this granite checkered female hence super granite. There was another scrub that was stillborn but had the phenotype of a pastel checkered. No other bloodline in this pairing nor of the parents of the female that produced the granite. So the 33% is not a possibility.
Thanks for your take on it.
