    Albino is a recessive trait...so if you breed an albino to a normal, all the babies will LOOK normal, but they will all be "het for albino".

    Here....read this and see if it helps...

    I sounds like you are moving WAY too fast. Do morph research. Learn some genetics. Learn how to breed and care for baby BPs.

    To me it just looks like you saw Albino prices and want to jump on the bandwagon, without knowing the basics. I don't mind questions, I just don't like spoon feeding information. Be proactive.

    Good Luck.

    to get albino babies off the bat you need to either:

    spend a couple thousand dollars and buy a 1.1 albino pair, raise them up to sexual maturity then attempt to breed them. if you successfully hatch the eggs then all the babies will be albino.

    or you could spend several hundred dollars and buy a 1.1 heterozygous albino pair meaning that they look normal but carry the albino gene, raise them up to sexual maturity, attempt to breed and each egg will have a 25 percent chance of being a visible homozygous albino animal if you successfully hatch the them. (but there is a chance that you may not even get a single homozygous animal)

    or you could go a couple other routes but ill let you do the research for youreself to see if it is worth it...
