Hello all !
If I breed my albino male boa to my 100% het for albino female boa, what will the results be ? I unserstand half of the babies will be albino, the other half will look normal as far as color, but will be 100% het for albino. Is that correct and always a guarantwee ?
I understand a bit about the genetic traits, but I'm by no means an expert. Thanks to all in advance !

Basically you would get the following from an albino to 100% het albino breeding:
Normal looking 100% het ablinos, and albinos.
That really is the only results you can get. What isn't an albino, will be a 100% het albino. However, it isn't likely you will get half albinos and half 100% het albinos. The odds though 50/50 for either, can be skewered as each egg has a 50% to be one or the other, so you can wind up with all 100% het albinos, or all albinos and any combination between.
This is of course, assuming you don't have any unknown hets hidden in either snake. But the only way to find out is to breed the snakes and see what comes out.
