I can't tell you exact percentages off the top of my head, but I do believe that a some of the resulting litter would be albino, with a possibility of being het. for anery. The other normal appearing offspring would be either normal, normal-looking possible het. for anery, normal-looking possible het. for albino, or normal-looking possible double hets for both anery and albino.
If I was off on this, someone will correct me ;p Hets can be confusing, especially when it comes to estimating percentages!

25% of clutch - Visual Albino, 50% Poss Het Snow
75% of clutch - Visual Normal, 66% Poss Het Albino, 50% het anery (each "normal" has a 33% chance of being a het snow, but you can't tell!)

interesting and thank you very much, so let me ask this, is getting a normal male that is het albino for $300 and a normal female that is dh snow for $600(both about 1 - 1 1/2 year old)
or both for about $725 worth it?
