    About $50.00.. other than that there is no visual difference between them.

    Visually nothing. Het Albino you can breed to an Albino or another Het Albino and get albino's, but the normal you can't.

    You trust the breeder, or you prove them out yourself by breeding them to produce visual morphs.

    You wouldn't unless you proved it out by breeding it.

    it all depends on the breeder and such. I have a1.1 het pair left from my clutch from last year and Were I am not a reputable breeder( yet anyhow ) I having hard time moving them to new homes.
    My fiancee sold one at herwork by luck so I might have to go that route for now.
    but most people I know will provide a paper guantreeing ( spelling) they genetics.

    You don't know! When buying an animal as a HET I would always suggest that you buy from a reputable breeder.

    You may see the terminologies 33% 50% 66% HET floating around. These are the percentages that the animal you have may be a HET depending on the parents that were paired to produce the clutch your animal came from. At the end of the day your animal is either a HET or it isn't and the only way to tell is to breed it and try and prove it out. The only time you will get a 100% HET is if either the male or female is a VISUAL recessive animal.

    Edit: Darn, SLIM and WES beat me to it... Typing so darn slow today I guess! lol
