What's kind of Ball is this?

[xbxteen]

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.

Why did you buy it if you didnt know what it is?

Interesting, Well, yeah i guess I kinda messed up. It was my first snake, and for some reason i did not want to get a normal... lol... wow, i feel so....ugh.. Well.. Atleast she is a healthy girl and i am happy with her. =/

If you want to get another snake later on, you can look at some of the more inexpensive morphs. Pastel males run on at 100-150 dollar range.

Hey, nothing wrong with having a het as a pet. If you decide to breed later maybe pick up an Albino or het Albino to try to prove him out as a het.

And it's a she!! If you're not going to breed albinos then you should post her up for trade..

From the picture and you asking what it is, I say she looks like an Anaconda.

Get her a 100% het albino boyfriend for the future
