I have seen both of these used in regard to paroedura pictus and sounding like the total noob I am, what do they mean, please.

Xanthic is a color morph pertaining to increased yellow or orange pigment.

The term "Het." is short for Heterozygous which means that the animal appears normal but carries the genetics for a particular recessive trait (ie Xanthic).
