100% Het Albino Female and 100% Het Albino Male. If these breed what kinda babies do thay make? I already have the female. She looks normal but she has the gene.

They'll get you 50% heterozygous like Mom & Dad, 25% normals and 25% visual albinos.

if im not mistaken, 25% albinos, 50% hets and 25% normals (basically 75% pos het albino)
*edit... danggg im to slow... ughh

Re: What do these make?
Would the albinos be yellow and white? Would the normals also be 100% for the Albino gene?

P.S. - forgot to mention that you roll the dice anew with each egg, so those percentages may not come out in every clutch. It's possible (though very unlikely) to have a clutch that's all albino. It's just as likely though, to have a clutch of all normals!

How do you know which is het and which is non het?

Guys seriously. Study some more! ;)
100% het albino to 100% het albino equals albinos and 66% possible hets. Each egg has a chance of being either 25% albino, 50% het, or 25% normal. You cannot tell which are hets and which aren't, so ALL normal looking babies are called 66% possible hets.
100% het to normal would equal all 50% possible hets for that gene. Each egg has a 50% chance of either being a het or a normal, but you don't know which is which, so they are all called 50% possible hets.

You dont.
All the normal looking offspring are considered 66% possible het albino. Basically 2 out of 3 normal looking babies are hets, the other is normal, but you cannot tell which is which so they all have a 66% chance at being hets.
The best way to deal with the 66% poss. hets is to sell the males as normals and breed the females back to a het male or albino male to prove them out as het or normal.
