If a morph like albino, and pied, is a recessive morph, it means it has to have 2 genes to make that morph
so say you bought a male albino
if you bred it to:
albino x normal= 100% het albino
these would all look normal, but would have the gene for albino in them
if you bred a baby back to the father, so
albino x het albino= 50% albino and 50% het albino
this means that you would get 50% visual albino, and again 50% het albinos
if you bred
albino x albino= 100% albino
but the albino x albino would cost a lot to bye 2 albinos
but if you buy a male albino, you could breed it to 2-3 female het albinos, or just one lol
hope this helps
You just explained about 6 months worth of reading on Google in one paragraph.
Thanks for that man! |

What kind of price is an Albino?
Looked on google and they are such an amazing looking snake for a relatively "normal" Royal... |

I know this may sound a stupid question but what is a het albino and what sort of babies would I expect if I got a male albino and bred to a female het albino?? I'm new to this whole snake keeping |

like bob sed, u can never go wrong with a female, but it depends on if u plan to breed, if u plan to breed, then i would maybe advise a male albino and then buy a female het albino |

I agree with Bob. |

you can never go wrong with getting a Female |

As soon as I can take some pics I will put them up, I'm really exited about this, just need to decide male or female really can't make up my mind |

Wow, I do love albinos and really want one myself
