When I breed my Albino and snow cal kings together what will I expect in the clutch?

There aren't any "snow" cal kings.

I have seen 2 erroneous definitions of "snows"

#1 High Whites being called "snows"

#2 Blizzards (albinism & melanism) being called "snows"

A snow is a snake displaying 2 recessive genes at the same time (amel & anery).

I have bred both scenarios, sooo........

Scenario #1 - breeding an albino banded to a High White will produce babies that are mostly aberrant and will be 100% het for albinism.

Scenario #2 - breeding an albino banded to a Blizzard will produce 100% albino babies that are 100% het for melanism. The pattern will be mostly aberrant, some could be banded.
