if it looks like a lavender albino, it is a lavender albino. we call that a visual, its not a het.


snakes (like humans) have two sets of chromosomes, two sets of genetic information. one from mom, one from dad. for a visual recessive like a lavender albino, there need to be two copies of the gene. hets look like normals, but carry one copy.

if you breed a visual to a completely normal BP, all of the offspring will have one copy, they will all be het for lavender albino. but you dont get more visuals that look like lavender albinos.

and if you breed a visual to a het, half of them get two copies and will be visuals, the other half gets one copy, these will again be hets.

50% possible het means: either it has one copy of the gene and is a het, or its really just a normal and does not carry the gene.

i hope this helps. one final note: lavender albino and albino look quite similar, but the genes are incompatible. they dont interact. meaning if you breed lavender albino to het albino (regular albino, not lavender), all offspring will look normal.
