My thoughts when it comes to hets are this, buy from a reliable source. That doesn't have to mean a big breeder, but for me anyways it means a breeder I either know, have a prior relationship with or have been referred to. When we bought Malachi, our 100% het for albino, because his genetics are not visually apparent we basically "bought" Adam's reputation. In other words, we fully trust Adam's reputation and record keeping and am confident Malachi is what he was presented to be. We just couldn't be comfortable buying any het whatever the percentage from someone we didn't have confidence in.

We will likely breed Mal to our normal females and raise all his daughters. We also want to buy a female 100% het for albino for his eventual mate. We want to produce our own albino, not only because we want to own one but the thrill of producing it ourselves is so tempting.

Last thought, if the deal is "too good to believe"....well personally I wouldn't believe it! LOL Why would any reputable breeder basically dump snakes with good genetics for a lot less than the market value. I love a good deal any day of the week but when I see a lot of these "killer deals" online, well I just smile and go back to looking at the sites of breeders I trust to do right by Mike and I and be there after the deal is struck and the snake shipped.
