i see alot of 66% for albino or others what makes the % up and whats 66% or 50% poss is that just a big gamble to buy one of those animals

Those are the odds any non visual baby will actually be het. For example a het albino bred to a non het would be a 50/50 chance for getting the het gene or 50% het albino. The 66% comes from het x het breeding - 1/4 of gthe babies will be albino, 1/4 will not be hets and 1/2 will be hets. You can visually sort out the albinos leaving a pile with 66% odds of being het.

Yes it is a gamble and sometimes you win, sometimes you lose!!!

LOL, to many snakes to list, last count:
26.49 BRB
20.21 BCI
And those are only the breeders

lots.lots.lots feeder mice and rats

ok thank you so a baby that came from one parent being albino and one 50% hets would that be 100% het for albino?

Albino X 50% het Albino(50% possible het Alb) = ?
If the 50% possible het proves to be het, you'll get half litter Albino Boas and half litter of het Albino Boas.
If the 50% het doesn't prove out you'll get all het Albino or 100% het Albino Boa babies.

Boas By Klevitz

thank you been big help

Well 50% het means that the snake was produced by both possible hets(50%,66%, or 100%) and none of the littermates were homozygous form of the morph. And 66% het means that the snake was produced by 50%, 66%, or 100%, and there was a littermate that was a homozygous form of the morph...8^)
