Het Albino x Het Albino

If I breed a het albino x het albino, on average 25% will appear albino(homozygous), and all will be het albino? Correct me please!

Thanks

25% albino
50% het albino
25% normal

problem is you can't tell what is het and what is not. so we have to call them 66% possible hets. chance of them being het is 66% (50%:25%)

Ok so how can I be sure the two I am looking at are het for albino? The breeder is telling me they came from a albino x het or possible het albino. Does one parent being albino make all offspring het albino? I am so confused! LOL!

short answer: yes

Genes comes in pairs of two. When baby snakes are coming to be, each parent gives 1 gene each. Albino is homozygous which means both genes are the same. so the albino parent has to give an albino gene no matter what.

Yes and to be sure you need to buy from a TRUSTED breeder.
