Haha! I guess I can see your point...But I agree again with ember ball. When you say 25% het, it sounds fishy to me. I teach biology and have a degree in biological sciences (not that that makes me special, but I am pretty good at genetics). I understand the mathematical probability behind it...I understand "full disclosure", but I don't understand why anyone wouldn't prove out their hets to start. They would be worth more money if they prove out and we would not be having this conversation If I have a 50% het albino why would I breed it to my pastel? It sounds goofy to me (unless you are super cheap and willing to line breed to eventually prove out the snake). So, if I see an ad for a 25% or 33% het I will assume that the breeder does not know how to do a genetics problem or is too cheap to prove out their het...or even worse..a bogus breeder who is looking to make an extra buck or two selling to uneducated buyers! Again my two cents
