Can't be sure she is not a het

She may still be a het. You had a 1 in 4 chance of getting an albino out of each hatchling. Statistically, you should have produced 1.5 albinos (but half an albino would look odd), but you had a reasonable chance of getting all normal looking snakes.



To average out the probabilities, think of having a bucket with a thousand marbles. 250 are albino colored and 750 are some other color. Mix em up, close your eyes and make a blind grab for 6.



You win some, you lose some. Even if she isn't a het, she is still a pretty reduced pattern girl.
