50% het green AND 50% het albino.

Just to be clear (or maybe not), that means 25% of the snakes will be normal, 25% will be het green only, 25% will be het albino only, 25% het for both albino and green. Thus any one offspring has a 50% chance of being het green AND a 50% chance of being het albino.

(I guess my description of the fourth case is a worse than usual abuse of "het", but you purists know what I mean.)
