Not to offend anyone who replied (I really appreciate the time you guys are putting into this), but this has gone way over my head. I was thinking this would be a lot simpler, just hoping to understand the terms in the classifieds so when the time comes I would know what I was buying. After reading all this I just can't grasp it right, might take few more reads to "get it" or at least some of it.
Basically what I was looking for is, I was thinking along the lines of getting an albino columbian red tail and have no interest in breeding. Therefore I don't care if would be capable of producing albino offspring and was hoping to save money by getting an albino that just looks albino, but genetically isn't or is say half reg/half albino while retaining a full albino look. But from the what I could get out the replies is this is not possible, correct? (with albino or any morph?)

Sorry guys, DEFINETLY a NEWB when it comes to the genetic side of snakes or anything for that matter, thanks for bearing with me, Mak.
