Would that mean any normals would be het, from this breeding?

No Austin, in an Anaconda clutch, all Normals will just be Normals. Anacondas are actually the het form of the Supercondas. Co-Dominant and Incomplete Dominant traits will produce visual hets unlike Recessive traits which just look normal.

Read this Link, it might help you understand the following.

If you look at it this way by genes, this is how it works for the Anaconda trait:

Superconda/Anaconda
AA = Normal
Aa = Anaconda
aa = Superconda

Now, if we look at a Recessive traits like an Amelanistic (Albino), this is how it works out:

Amelanistic
AA = Normal
Aa = Normal het Amel
aa = Amel

This is all so confusing!

As I always recommend, go to a used book store or a thrift store and look for used college books on Genetics. I've picked up 3 different books for just a couple of bucks each and they have been invaluable in helping me to understand this complicated topic. If you really want to understand, the resources are out there, it's up to you to do the research and studying to understand it.

Unfortunately, there's far too few people out there that actually learn and understand these things, they just regurgitate incorrect information they are told by others that are just as ignorant as they and it creates a vicious cycle of ignorance and misinformation.
