Certainly the onus is on the breeder /seller to be honest, and forthcoming about the genetics of the animal. He should have pictures of the parents, pictures of the parents locked , the eggs and the hatchlings. He should be able to give you a written guarantee of the het genetics and back it up! I just hatched out a clutch of double hets for pied x albino and I have all that for my potential customers. :gj:
Weird. My BP was considered something more than normal by other users on the forums, and his tongue is pink, I think.

They are all normal until proven other wise.

Re: Determining Het Albino?
The lighter overall coloration and the tongue color are things that have been thrown around in the quest for defining het albinos. The pictures, documentation of locks , eggs and hatchlings is the one thing a responsible breeder can do. The sure fire way to prove it out is to breed the animal appropriately.:gj: Thanks. Good luck. Also, the breeder should go out on the line to guarantee the genetics in writing along with all the other documentation.
