25% normals, 50% hets, 25% albinos.

And of course, they have to het for the same form of albinism (i.e. Kahl line, or Sharp line).

Also of note is that you will not be able to tell the hets from the normals in a het x het breeding (for albinos).

This is why people list 66% het albinos - there's a 2 out of 3 chance that any given normal looking snake will be a het for albino, but you can't tell for certain until you raise them and breed them.

100% het albinos come from albino x het albino breeding - you can be sure in that case that all the normal looking offspring are het for albino.

They also come from an albino x normal mating.
