I have to be honest, unless you know the breeder of this snake and he has a good reputation. There is a good chance that your snake could just be a normal and classed as a 100% het to make more money. Most het's have no sign's of trait's and thats why they are percentage het's. This is just my opinion!!!

My opinion too, Unless you know the breeder well, and the breeder keeps charts, and you trust that, then You have a het, and even then unless you have another from the same clutch, you may never produce any albinos.

You breed it to another 100% het or, better yet, to an actual albino. If you breed it to an albino and you get any albino babies, yours is het. However, if you breed it and get no albinos, it's not 100% conclusive yours isn't het. If a few breedings yield no results though, it's safe to say it's not het.

I'm very lucky to work with a breeder who's very reputation rides on his hets producing albinos. They always do. even his 66% possible hets generally pan out to produce stunning babies.

You buy it from a reputable breeder that you trust.
