Looking at a lineage chart, identifying heterozygous animals is rather easy. Given snakes have a much higher offspring number, it is usually a good probability of getting atleast one homozygous recessive animal.

Contrary to theory, a trained eye can sometimes tell a heterozygous animal. When the process of miosis starts, the seperation of DNA though random, is not entirely random, it occurs in segments. Meaning that, along with the albino locus of the DNA there is often other phenotypicly dominant traits able to be seen. However, this is near impossible for anyone not professionally trained\interested.

When expansa says 25%, that's theoretical. And though it usually comes within 20% of the average for small clutches, don't always assume the genotype of an animal due to the lack of albanism.

I have to post my displeasure to see people breeding albanism in animals, it's unhealthy, and any of them with a strong education in genetics\science like myself, would understand the VAST health problems associated with breeding recessive traits in animals. In evolutionary terms, albanistic animals seldom last long in a predatory environment, as per nature intended..
