If the 3 girls are 50% chance hets then your odds of at least one turning out to be a het is 87.5%. If you add a 4th female (doesn't mater that it's from another clutch as long as the seller is honest and there is no way for anyone to identify het albino babies from possible hets) then your odds of at least 1 of the 4 being a het only go up to 93.75%. So if you are on a budget the 3 female possible hets might be a good place for you. Of course the more you get the better your odds but it never really reaches 100% but it's nice to have a few extras in case some take for ever to grow up and breed.



Using an albino male will increase your chances of getting an albino from small clutches with the ones that do end up being hets but again it's a dice roll, just with more eggs you get more rolls.
