Below is a photo of a 5 egg clutch that's 2 weeks old - both parents are 100% Het Albino - or at least I hope so? Assuming they are, what percentage Het will the normals be - 66% or something else? Sorry the photo is so large - I haven't figured out how to make it smaller on Photobucket.

Thanks
Jim

Yes, each baby will have a 66% chance of being het albino.
Good luck!

100% het x 100% het = 66% hets

100% het x normal = 50% hets

Guys - thanks for responding; I appreciate it. Once the babies hatch I'll post some photos.

Thanks,

To maybe elaborate on tHe anWsers already given and possibly make it more understandable, 100% het X 100% het will yield you:
25% visible (albino in this case)
25% normal
50% het
Of all the normals, 2/3 (or 66%) of them will be het.
