My morph explained?

You have purchased a normal. That normal has the possibility of carrying the Caramel Albino gene but you won't know if it does unless you breed it to a caramel albino or another het. caramel albino.

The reason you can get a possible het is that the caramel albino gene is a recessive gene so if your breeder bred a caramel albino to a het. caramel albino, what we know about ball python genetics states that he would have gotten 1/2 caramel albinos and 1/2 50% het. caramel albinos.

As for your morph, it's wildtype, its the offspring that could possibly have visual morphs.

I think you typed that wrong. If you breed a caramel albino to a 100% het caramel albino you would not get 50% hets. Any normals would be 100% het. Breeding an actual, visual recessive morph to any other snake yields 100% hets. If that other snake is also a 100% het you have a chance at getting some visuals of that recessive morph.

The only way to get 50% possible hets is by breeding a 100% het to another snake that is neither het nor visual for that recessive morph.

You get 66% possible hets by breeding 2 100% hets together.

Breeding 2 visuals together gives you all visuals.
