Unless there is any way to pick hets then any selection of possible hets is just as random as the ones that happen to be in a clutch together. The Punnett’s square is for the odds for each egg, not any sort of guarantee of what the distribution of a clutch will be.



I produced my own clutch with four 50% het albino girls in 2000. Two of them produced two good eggs each in 2003 (also 5 bad eggs). They where both bred to the same 66% possible het albino male that was proven when the first two egg clutch contained albinos two albinos. The other girl's two eggs where normal but with only two eggs the odds of getting an albino from het X het where less than 50% anyway. A third sister first produced this year but I bred her to a 66% chance het caramel so don't expect albinos when they hatch in the next couple weeks. Hopefully I'll get a chance to test the fourth sister next year but I'll breed her to a different/untested 66% chance het albino male so it may take a while to figure out if these last 3 sisters are hets or not.
