2 hets do what?

And I would assume that a 66% poss het that gave birth to an albino baby can now be sold as het albino without further percent qualification.

I do see what you mean when you say, if you put 100% then it is proper to add poss. Otherwise, just drop 100% altogether... It's like saying, "Can you repeat it again for the second twice?"... Just being funny, guys...

Yup, once its proven, its no longer a 66% probable het, its...ummm... 100% (ducking now).

Another OT analogy I thought of is when someone asks you to enter your "pin number". If you expand the acronym, they're asking for your personal identification number number.

Yes, and ATM machine. Apparently redundancy was popular around the time those things were invented!

Enter your pin number into the ATM machine. LOL!

...or the last four digits of your SSN number...

I think that is where the word "proven" usually comes in.

The word "proven" also comes in with the "100% hets" though. I know that there is no way I'd sell a het that I didn't produce as 100% unless I had proved it.

By the way, I love your coin analogy!

I just wanted to interject another two probabilities that may be seen. They are rarer, and not seen very commonly, but I have seen them before. I know Michael Joliff used to be one that used them often, usually when describing babies from Double recessive projects. You may sometimes see 44% or 33%. A 44% comes from breeding a 66% Poss. Het to a 66% Poss. Het. A 33% comes from breeding a 66% Poss Het to a 50% Poss Het. The numbers don't really describe the probability the snake has of being Het or not, but is a mathematical combination of the parent probabilities. However it is a quick way to describe what breeding was done to produce the snake in question. I hope that wasn't too confusing.

I just wanted to describe that in case anyone ever sees those numbers.
