    The worst odds ever?

    Can someone make me feel a little less dissapointed and tell me its happened to them before?? I bred a male albino to a female het and out of 7 perfect eggs, I got one albino... lol. Oh well, hopefully get better odds on my other clutches!

    That what come with breeding recessive gene carriers

    It hasn't happend to me personally, but I hear odd like these with recessives a lot so don't sweat. Just look at it this way, it could have been worse. Just be glad you got an albino! Pics?

    was the het 100%.

    It can happen to where you get nothing but more hets or you can get even split or all albinos. Joys of genetics.

    p.s. there was only 4 eggs and i got 3 females and 1 male. i'll probably keep all three females for future breeding projects

    Well I'd be very happy with a little beauty like that + she's 100% het pied. Do you know for sure that the mother was actually 100% het, had she already been proven out as het pied? At least the thread starter does know that his snake actually is het Albino, if all he had got was hets he couldn't have called her proven-now he can and know he just got bad odds. All is not lost.
