If the albino gene is recessive like in the corns, leos and boas the results will be:

1. Albino X Albino= 100% of the babies will be albino

2. Albino X Reg= 100% of the babies will be het albino

3. Het albino X Reg= 50% of the babies will be het albino

4. Het albino X Het albino= 25% albino babies, 25% reg babies and 50% het albino babies.

so albino X reg will never produce even one albino ?

nope, you'd only get 100% hets. you'd need to breed two albinos or an albino to a het to get any albinos... :)

and does this apply for everything like hypo or anery or leucistic whatever the species ???

no, depending on the species the genes can be recessive or co-dominant.
