alright i got a 3-4 foot male columbian red tail, thinking about geting a female, i have plenty of room for em both but i was wondering if you can only breed columbians with columbians, cuz there are surinam red tails and all... soo and possibly a little explanation on what happens when breeding a albino with a regular and i dont quite understand what HET means, is that for hetorozygous?

you can breed a surinam to a colombian but the cross id generally frowned upon and selling the offspring would be significantly more difficult than pure babies.
het. is short for heterozygous. in the case of albinism two mutant genes are required for the animal to display a visualy different appearance. a het or heterozygous for albino animal appears normal but carrys the gene for albinism. this animal bred to another like it (or an albino) will result in some offspring having two mutant genes and the visual appearance of an albino.
