AHHA, alright, no, you we're NOT ripped off. Most likely.
I thought that might be the situation..
Heterozygous (het) is a genetic term that means it carries the gene but does not show it. If you bought another het albino, you could breed them eventually and produce albinos, which look like this;

Your snake is not supposed to look different, because it carries the trait of a recessive gene.
However, if you don't plan on breeding, you probably should've just purchased a normal ball python.. it would've been much cheaper and more effective to your purpose. :]
