The actual best pairing would be albino pied to albino pied.

i know, i said the pairings wont produce possible hets. you get albino pied, albino 100% het pied, pied 100% het albino, and 100% double hets. no possible hets, no guesswork, everything is clear. of course albino pied to albino pied would be even more awesome.

So do you have an adult normal female ready to breed?

Sure, it would be great if you could go out and replace her with an adult double het female ready to breed but that would be expensive and assume you have had the normal for a while and your question is more along the lines of what to do with her.

A dominant or codominant male will get you a chance of visual babies first clutch. If you like say pinstripe or Mojave you could pick up one of those males pretty cheap.

If you just really want albino pieds and have way more patience than money and don't mind working with your normal female's line for a while you could do it for little initial investment starting by breeding her to the double het albino pied male. Be sure and get the male from a reliable source and even then I would look for one with really good het pied belly markers. You could then hold back all the daughters with the belly markers and greatly increase your odds on the pied side of the equation. You're still looking at years and years of work and on top of that would still need some luck but sometimes it can be rewarding to do things the hard way.
