Well, if you breed an Albino to a het Axanthic, you will get double possible hets, and all of them will be 100% het Albino, 50% Axanthic.

THEN! You'd have to breed all of the babies together to hope that you will hit on the double hets breeding together, and IF you get that pairing, you will have a 1/16 chance of hitting on the Snow.

so the babys have to be breed together for 2 generations and then i would have a 1/16 chance of a snow thought it would be faster starting with a albino and a het axanthic then two het axanthics does not look like it.And if I keep breeding the albino parent to the het babys it seems maybe i would never get there?So it seems like a 5 or 6 year project if I started to day.Geuss the quickest affordable way is to by 100 percent het axanthic babys and still might not get a snow wow. thanks again

From reading your post it appears that you dont quite get the whole Heterozygous/Homozygous thing.

Heterozygous is a recessive gene that is there, but not visual (thus why your het axanthic looks normal) Homozygous is the visual form of your recessive trait (this is your albino)

If you want to make a snow, you should most definitely start with Homozygous versions of the Albino and the Axanthic. But even then you will end up with double Heterozygous snakes (they will appear normal but carry the genes for both the Albino and Axanthic) and then breed them together for a 1/16 chance of hitting it.

No matter what there is no certainty that you will get what you are after very easily.

Good luck and I hope this made sense.
