Genetics question
I am picking up a 10 foot male albino burm 100% het green and i now have to find a female for him.I don't know much about all that genetics stuff so my question is what would be some good choices for a female.

Depends on what you hope to produce. Since you have an albino/het green, if you get for an albino green to pair it with - you'll produce albino greens, and albino/het greens...a great option if you want to produce all visual morphs, with no mystery hets. A green/het albino (with your male) would produce albino greens, greens/het albino, albinos/het green, and double hets - this is probably the best option in terms of diversity

Thanks for that info i guess i am going to have to learn this stuff.Do you know of any good sites i could visit that could help me?

It really isn't all that hard - once you understand the concept of recessive traits (I haven't dealt with burms in a while but, last I knew, all the "true" morphs were simple recessive). Once you understand that, all you really have to do is plug the traits into a Punnett square. If you just want to figure out the likely outcome of a pairing, you could always use one of the genetics wizards - as long as you know if the trait is recessive, dominant, or codominant, you'll be ok.
