    What is he?

    Hey Guys!

    So, Pua is a 100% Het Albino. Does this mean he's a normal with the Albino gene in him or is Het Albino his morph? Just something I randomly started to wonder, sorry if it's a noob question. What exactly does his genetic makeup mean anyway in terms of breeding?

    100% het means that both parents had an albino gene, but the visual gene didn't get passed on to this baby. So yes, Pua is a normal with the gene, and to my understanding 100% means that if you bred Pua with a visual Albino, you would get some albino babies.

    Not quite. 100% het means that 1 parent was visual albino. While it's possible the other was a het it doesn't matter because of 1 being albino. So he is s guaranteed to carry the albino Gene. The rest is correct

    Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

    Then if you want to get really picky you could also breed him to another het and still get a visual it just lowers you odds of it. hets either carry the gene or not, if one is 66% het that means that it still either has the gene or not but its a 66% chance it carries the gene. I'm not a gambler usually.

    Thanks everyone! I just wanted to know what 100% Het Albino really meant. Mostly because I hope to breed him someday.

    It's good to see someone doing their homework before embarking on a breeding endeavor
