    I don't understand how that can be. Can you show me the mathematical calculation you make to arrive at the number 66%? I understand that would be the case if you have 3 normal looking snakes and 2 of them are het. 2 out of 3 is 66%. But how do you arrive at 66% when you have a clutch of 4 normal looking snakes from a het x het?
