I really don't know much about genetics, and was trying to find a good source on google, but no luck. What would come from breeding 2 100% Het Albinos?

25% albino
50% het albino
25% normal
The hets and normals will all look normal, so you can't tell them apart visually.
So they all will have a 2/3 chance of being a het. That's why you see 66% piss. hets.

Those are the odds "on paper"... Technically, you can breed two hets together and end up with no albinos at all...
This pretty much happend to me one season with a pair of het albino leopard geckos... Out of 17 eggs layed and hatchrd that season, only one albino hatchling emerged... The following season from the same pair, about 75% of the the total hatchlings were albinos...

There is always luck to take into consideration, but the "paper odds" I gave are what it is per embryo, so the actual clutch can and does vary a bit. I have had good and bad luck, but in the end the average is always pretty close to the predicted numbers.

No doubt Jon, it is weird how it works out some times... Most of the time the odds are right on but sometimes you either do better or worse...
