Hi,

66% possible het means that there are 66 chances for 100 tries, that this is a het.
If you breed 2 66% possible hets, you have about 45% chance that both are hets.
If both are hets - you will produce 25% of the clutch albinos and the rest will be 66% possible het for albino.

Best regards

If you really want to produce albinos, I would stick with the 100% hets. It a far safer bet for albinos. The 66% hets seem to much of a gamble...
that's my opinion on it....

Like he said, it's always best to get a sure thing. The only exception I have EVER made was with a male granite burmese 66% het for albino, because my worst case scenario is a whole lot more granites poss het albino, and as I love the granites the most this is not such a bad outcome. Any other het I have ever purchased is 100% het. A little bit more money for a WHOLE lot more security, is the way I look at it.
