What Scott refers to as quad hets--he means they are "het" for Nebraska albino, Iowa albino, Iowa snow, and Nebraska snow. Saying they are quad hets, referring to the 4 phenotypes possible in their offspring, is a bit of a misnomer, but to each there own, and quite frankly more people understand this than my technically correct version below.

Personally I would call them triple hets--because their genotype is heterozygous for: 1.Nebraska albino (T+ gene), 2.Iowa albino (T- gene), and 3.anerythristic gene. Heterozygous for 3 genes.
While this is the technically and scientifically correct nomenclature to describe the genotype, I end up explaining this to more people and then in the end when someone asks, "so can they make two different kinds of snow" and I tell them "yes they can" and they say "so they are het for snow" I basically give in and reluctantly say " yes aka het snow".
My point being scientifically correct doesn't have any value if it has no meaning to the audience. So generally, when I sell a multi-het snake I usually post the correct genotype and also add aka " het snow" or whatever, so that if you my audience prefers correct genotype they get that, and if they relate to phenotype possibilities in offspring they have that information as well.

Jeff, the pastels that I got from you are het for granite checkered right?

If i get babies i will probably hold a couple back and sell the rest, but i'll have to wait and see what pops out! They are all 100% het fl albino too.

I'm not gonna have many radixes available this year. I sold most of mine to focus on other projects. I keep mostly easterns with a few other odds and ends, lol!
