No super for Albino ;) it's called Homozygous :gj:

If your female is 66% Het Albino she came from Het Albino to Het Albino pairing.

If you decide to prove her out with an Albino you would get the following

100% Het Albinos should she not prove

50% Albinos + 50% Hets should she prove. (The hets would again be 100% Hets)

You could also try to prove her out with a 100% het albino male however the outcomes would not be as good and should she not prove out you would end up with a clutch of 50% hets that should in turn be proved out as well taking years of your time an lots of space.

This should help you understand recessive breeding http://www.ballpython.ca/what_get/recessive.html

If the breeder said she was 66% het albino then that means she came from het albino parents. If she is het then breeding her to an albino should pop out around 1/2 albino babies and the rest will be 100% het albino.
