Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

From a het x possible het you will either get
25% albinos
50% hets
25% normals
The above would be IF the possible proves to be a het.
OR
50% hets
50% normals
If the possible is not a het.

yup 50% means that there is a 50% chance that it is het for albino. It was in a clutch and half of the clutch is 100% het for albino but the breeder doesnt know which animals are 100% het and which are 0% het. So all the animals are 50% het

The 50-66-100% het thing refers to an animal's probability for being het for a given trait. When you see 100% het, it implies that the animal is indeed heterozygous for that trait. Any other number (i.e. 50%, 66 2/3%) means that the probability an animal carries the trait is X%. Keep in mind that this is all based on probability and theory. When you see something like a pair yielding 50% albinos and 50% hets, it really means that half of the offspring are albino, and the other half are het for albino. It can be a little confusing in certain circumstances when a breeder advertises animals without spelling out the possibility factor. If you see a "50% het albino" that means that the odds of that animal being heterozygous for albino are one in two. It doesn't mean that the animal is half-het. There's no such thing. An animal either IS or ISN'T het for a recessive trait like albinism. The % just refers to it's probability of being het.
I hope that doesn't muddy the water, but it seems a lot of people don't quite comprehend the terminology.
