Unless the normal is het for albino, all the young will be normal-looking yellow ratsnakes, het for albino. If your "normal" yellow rat is het for albino, then about half the babies would be albino, the other half normal-looking hets.
In all liklihood, you will wind up with all normal-looking babies. If those babies were bred to each other, about a quarter of them would turn out albino. Half would be normal hets, and a quarter would be normal (non-het). 
I guess I learned SOMETHING in genetics class!!
