Yup! its just good to have stuff reinforced though

Just think of every individual of having ___% chance to become something.

So say you breed an albino (bb) to a 100% het albino (Bb), you'll get 50% chance of a het albino and 50% chance of an albino.

You could get 100% albinos you could get 100% hets, you could get any mix in between..

so instead of looking at "a clutch of 5 has a ___ chance of ___" just look at it as each individual hatchling has a 50% (or whatever) chance of albino and 50% chance of being a 100% het for albino (since with a bb you wont end up with any normals)

I hope that wasn't confusing..

basically you just have no idea exactly how many you will get or the combination of morphs, hets, etc.

You could combine two 100% hets and get all normals if you're really unlucky, its all just % chances on individual snakes
