I am not 100% sure at the moment, but i believe it was 100% heterozygous Albino.. Have to find the paper.. That's why i made this thread, because they are so similar to normals. Or.. idk

That explains it perfectly. When something is Heterozygous for a recessive gene, it means they CARRY the recessive gene but are not the visual creation of that gene. Meaning, that what you bought is sort of, an Investment into breeding an Albino Ball Python. In a moment I'll post up a little how it works.

Hets are normal looking ball pythons that carry the gene to produce a visual morph.

If it is 100% het for any recessive gene you can't tell by looking at it. They all have a normal apperance. You should have got some paperwork with him, if either parent was an albino then he is 100% het.
