Possible double het Albino/Pastel

Hi there everyone im new to this but the pet store were i got my mth old bp told me that her father was albino and carrier of the pastel gene i jst wanted to clear things up would that mean shes a possible double het? How would i determine if she is 50% 100% etc? I read up on the stickies qnd im still kindof confused thanks

There is no Het for Pastel. Its either a Pastel or not. Do you have any pics?
Thats not to say that the father was not a pastele albino. Some of the babies will be pastel and some will be normal. All of them are het for albino.
If you bought a normal het for albino thats all it is.

If they told you that the father was "carrier" of the pastel gene i would assume that you have bought a normal ball. Pastel gene cannot be "carried", it will be visable. Does she have green eyes? But it could well be het albino. You cannot know the % of het unless you know the pairing it came from. As above pics would help to establish if it is pastel or not.

Ok thanks everyone for the quick responses i will try and put pics up asap though im prettt sure shes not a pastel

Normal x Normal = All Normal
Albino x Albino = All Albino

Albino x Normal = All Normal het Albino (100% het Albino)
Albino x 100% het Albino = 50/50 chance of getting Albino
50/50 chance of gettting 100% het Albino

100% het Albino x 100% het Albino = 25% chance of getting Albino
50% chance of getting het Albino
25% chance of getting a Normal
(which mean all the Normals are 66% het Albino)

100% het Albino x Normal = 50/50 chance getting, het albino & Normal.
(which mean all the Normals are 50% het Albino)
Not a wise way to go..IMHO

Well here are the pics of my baby her name is Orva let me know what you think of her?:banana:

If the pet store did not give you papers for the genetics(the het albino part) then its just a normal.I hope you did not pay alot for it because they "said" the het stuff

i only paid $50 USD =D

Yea if its a boy then thats a normal range even if its really het for albino.Now do you understand the genetics on ball pythons in order to produce morphs?

I have a VERY vague grasp on the genetics but she is a female just to let you know..
