If the 50% didn't prove out you would get 50% het Lavs and no visual animals.

If they both proved out you could get 66% het Lavs and visual Lavs.

Thank you very much for your answer. I'm asking because I've got an 100% het lavender albino and somebody wants to sell me 0.2 50 % het lavender albino. But they are not proven. Do you think that it could be a good buy?

Thanks

Look up some info on the seller , Check the BOI.
All depends if you believe you can trust the seller, if the prices are decent for a possible het, and if your willing to take the risk.

50% hets are gambles and there is no guarantee that they are actual hets, you have to understand that if you bred them and got nothing but normal looking animals, you could have just missed the odds really bad or they aren't het at all.Neither of which would be the sellers fault since they were 50% possible hets to begin with.

50% hets are normals in my book. I would never gamble like that, especially when like mentioned, they could be hets that just gave you bad odds, so you'd have to get at least two clutches of babies from them to prove them out as normal. Resulting in lots and lots of normal babies you have to feed and -try- to sell (I couldn't GIVE my normal males away, I was even offering free shipping).

I personally would never buy a 50% het for any amount of price. It's just too much risk to raise an animal for a couple years and possibly miss out. Good luck with whatever you decide!

If you trust the source and the 100% hets are beyond your budget it's not a bad way to go, expecially if you use a visual male. I purchased ten 50% het lavs back in 2006 when the hets were very expensive. I waited a couple years to buy my male lavender albino and I did very well. I got lucky and proved out 7 of the 10 and I'm still breeding two others which I haven't ruled out yet.

Producing them yourself can also pay off. I produced a batch of 50% het candy females the last few years and some are breeding for me this year.

Unless you know what to look for, in which case they're a damned good buy! ;)
