No. There is no consistent way to determine albinism in most bp's. However there have been instances where a het albino may have a general lighter coloration than a normal. This is a rare occurrence and cant be relied upon. Also there have been reports of a pink tongue over a black tongue in some albino hets. Certainly the onus is on the breeder /seller to be honest, and forthcoming about the genetics of the animal. He should have pictures of the parents, pictures of the parents locked , the eggs and the hatchlings. He should be able to give you a written guarantee of the het genetics and back it up! I just hatched out a clutch of double hets for pied x albino and I have all that for my potential customers.
