I can see why it's easy to jump to thinking the female would be a het. It would be hard to justify breeding an albino female (what you think, maybe $4,000 or more at breeding size?) to a $75 66% chance het male when you could upgrade to a $125 100% het male and not risk the 33% chance of not having a shot at albinos. Heck, loan her out to an albino male and get a guarantee of a 50% clutch of albinos if that is how you work out the split (would actually have to be more than 50% to the female owner to on average work out better than buying the $125 male and keeping the het half clutch too).
It hardly ever makes since to use a less valuable male than the female in a potential pair.
