With an recessive morph (clown, ghost, axanthic, etc), you have to have the gene in both parents to produce the visual version of the morph.

So an albino to a normal will not produce that yellow & white snake because the genes are only in one parent, not both. So all teh babies would be normal looking 0 Hets.

Albino x Albino -OR-
Albino x Het Albino -OR-
0 Het x 0 Het will produce a visual (all with various ratios and percentages of course).

Hope this clears things up for you.

You would produce all Hets for albino.
