This thread has taught me not post anything regarding what I mate with whom when I do get ready to breed. I'll just take my chances and hope for the best lest I suffer the wrath of those who are professors in the Ball Python Breeding World. How did a thread go south so quickly between people who had no vested interest in this thread to begin with?
To get back on topic at hand, I would be going crazy too if I was this close to seeing my hard work pay off. Just weather the temptation and everything will turn out fine. You'll reap the rewards soon enough!

It goes to show you there is never a guarantee I thought hay 6 egg's I'll get a bee. No bee. I did cut a day early but I felt comfortable doing so.
3 lessers
1 normal
2 Spiders( One that I'm hoping is a female) HOTT!
Your odds aren't as good as you think. Basically you determine the odds of not getting a lesser bee from one egg are 3 out of 4. so the odds of not getting a lesser bee out of 6 are (3x3x3x3x3x3)/(4x4x4x4x4x4) or 729/4096 or in other words a little better than 1 in 6. I don't know about you but when I roll a 6 sided die I don't think "hey I won't roll a 1". I think "hey there is a good chance I won't roll a 1," I certainly won't be surprised if I do.
But again odds aren't a factor with albino x albino. You get albino's, if something comes out of the egg and its not an albino then someone stole your eggs and replaced them with normals.
