I'd second that about hets. Stick with an established, reputable breeder as far as hets go. There are 50%, 66% and 100% hets and that still confuses the heck outta me. If you haven't already studied a punnet square, you're going to so wish you'd paid more attention in senior biology back in high school LOL.

As I'm often reminded (thanks Adam) it's all a genetic crap shoot as well to some degree and all the statistics in the world don't guarantee a thing when it comes to breeding other than with breeding homozygous snakes (2 of those breeding guarantee all their offspring do not carry a normal gene, just the morph) or at least that's my very basic understanding of it.

Why oh why was I checking out the guys in senior biology and NOT paying more attention to genetics!!!!!!! (I think I was homozygous for party girl back then LOL)

I believe if you check out this link it will help explain things as well.

Their site is quite nice for a beginner as they include clear pictures of much of what they are explaining and for a visual creature such as myself, it's a lot easier to comprehend.
