Breeding genetic question

[alilshadee]

I'm interested in breeding my ball python. I would like to purchase a hetorzygus albino. I was wondering if my probability of producing an albino would be greater if i purchased a female het. or if it didn't matter at all whether the het. was the female or male. Also, was looking for some really good breeder websites or if anyone on here has any for sale with reasonable prices and shipping available. Also, lloking for any breeding advice/tips for a newbee breeder. thank you!!

You will need a pair of hets to get an albino. It's a recessive gene so mom and dad both have to carry it.
8 Ball Pythons on this site is a GREAT place to buy from. I had a pair from him!
The breeding tips, it's best that you read the posts and threads in the breeding section here. You'll get LOADs of info.
