Say an albino pops out of what should be a normal litter of boas, or any other snake for that matter. Does that mean that the parents are absolutely positively carrying the albino gene? I recently found a leucistic hognose and a friend of mine's theory is that the parents were hets and just happened to cross paths and breed. Seems like pretty high odds to me. Albino animals are found in the wild and the chance that the parents are hets seem slim. Maybe this is like the chicken and the egg story. Which came first, the albino or the het ?
