Het question??????

Depends on the trait. In simple recessive traits, the hets can't be seen. You need to know the genetics of the parents.
 
You can only tell what they are het for if you know the parent's genetics or if you test breed them for things you think they may be het for. There are some visual indicators of POSSIBLE hets, but it's still not a definite. I know there's a debate that het caramel snakes tend to show more yellow. I know some of my het bloodreds have a ventral stripe and 3 of the 6 are currently displaying a more intense amount of red. Those are two possible hets that jump out off the top of my head. Anyone else have any to add?

So what if you have two albino bp's male and female, are they forsure going to have albino babies?
 
I don't breed bp's, or know any bp genetics, so I'm of no help with genetics on that end.

It would probably depend on what type of albino you are working with since albino simply means the absence of pigment. Hence, amelanistic is albino just like anerythristic is in cornsnakes. . . Breeding an amel to an anery would not give you albinos of either type unless one was het for the other's trait.
