25% of your clutch should be albino, the remaining animals will all be 2/3 chance het for albino. Mark Petros

I believe what you get statistically is a s follows

25%-albino
25%-normal
50%-het that look normal

Since you can't tell the differance between the normals and the hets and because 66% of these normal looking snakes are het, statistically speaking they are called 66% hets. Of course this is just statistics, you could end up with all normals (don't quit your day job) or all albinos (go buy a lottery ticket).

Hope this helps.
