Reccessive breeding

[MalachiJ]

So I'm new to breeding and have done all of the research I can for now, and will not be breeding until my 3 month old female is ready. But I have a few questions still. I have an albino male, and a piebald female. I'm shooting for an albino pied down the road. I know these will produce 100% double hets, and if I pair them there is a 1/16 chance of hitting an albino piebald. But when I was looking at the genetic wizard it claims that when you breed 2 albino pieds the entire clutch will be albino pieds. I didn't think this was the case but I am hoping it is, what do you guys think? Also, is inbreeding a bad thing when it comes to snakes? I know they have a very small gene pool so it's not like humans inbreeding, but is it still bad? Thank you in advance.

just the same as breeding albino to albino = 100% albinos, or pied x pied = 100% pieds, albino pied x albino pied will produce 100 percent albino pieds, it's how recessive genes work, regardless of how many recessive genes you work with, if both parents are visual for all genes, then all their offspring will also be visual...

assuming all things go according to plan, and you hit the sex ratio and odds the first time around with the double hets, it will take at least a decade before you can have a breeding pair of visual albino pieds from your present albino and pied....

Yeah I know, worth it to me. I'm not selling them or anything I just want pets, and doing it this way is a great way to give me time to be ready for more pets. Plus I'm not interested in paying 1000+ for a pet. Thank you for your help!
