Assuming that you get an albino female and an albino male out of the clutch and breed them yes they will produce all albino offspring. However from a het to het albino breeding statistically only 1 out of 4 eggs will be albino. Its pretty presumptuous that you will in fact get a male and female albino out of a het to het breeding, def possible in reality but not statistically. You will find that things never go as we want them to. I wish you the best of luck and hope you do hit the odds and get your male and female albino though. Also doing things this way for albinos will take you years, i suggest getting an albino male they are only a couple hundred dollars and breeding him to a het female. Also I have heard of problems with breeding albinos to albinos especially when line breeding.

I have bred Albino x Albino Balls a couple times with no issues...I also know a bunch of others that have done this with no issues.

On a side note I also breed Albino x Albino Retics with no problems.

I personally wouldn't put a het to a normal. If you want to put a het to a non-het you should breed it to a codom or dom.

Yes just random hearsay. I heard it on this site actually. I believe what I heard was they are sometimes born without eyes and other eye issues or something to that affect, I'll see if I can find it.

There is only like 1 guy who thought that there was a issue and everyone else said that their wasn't. excessive inbreeding will cause defects in any morph, I think that this might be the cause of what you are saying, and it just happened to be 2 albinos.

Yes, I can read, and yes, excessive inbreeding can cause defects in any animal, that kind of goes without saying dont you think. I wasnt saying that I buy into it or anything I was just throwing it out there since I did hear it. I was just making "small talk" if you will.
