if you breed two pits that are double het hybino (albino and hypo) the outcome will be like this.

1/4 of the clutch will be hypo and they will be 66%het for albino
1/4 of the clutch will be albino and they will be 66% het for hypo
1/2 the clutch will be normal and will be 66% double het for hybino (albino and hypo)

and 1 in 16 will be hybino (showing both albino and hypo).
Problem is its really hard to tell the difference between a albino and a hybino.

Also, those are just percentages and can and will vary.
