technically it's not a triple het even though the snake is referred by that name. The reason is, hypo's are a co-dominant trait. And the other two traits are simple recessive. The snake is Homozygous for one trait and double het for two recessive traits. Offspring will be as follows. 1/16 "snow glow"(hypo/anry/albino) , 9/16 hypo , 3/16 sunglow(hypo/albino), 3/16 ghost(hypo/Anerythristic). Your 9/16 hypos(appear as normal hypos) will consist of plain hypos het for nothing, hypo's het for one trait, and hypo's het for both traits(Anerythristic and albino). Out of the 9/16 group you would need breed them in order to prove them out. Remember this is just statistically speaking and you might not even have 16 babies.. so chance plays a big part
