So the way the Het works is you are always buying on a chance. Bosco himself is a 66% Het and I have never bothered to try and prove him out. Underground has a proven 100% Het albino blue tegu (believe it is female) as can be seen from there "purple tiger" tegus from last year. This is not a morph just a nice looking cross. They most likely crossed this female with there male breeder blue tegu, so there is a chance that the offspring could carry the gene for albino. Only way to prove it would to breed to an albino or 100% het albino. Breeding back to an albino if it is a het would give you 50% albino and 50% hets while breeding a het to a het would give you 25% regular, 50% hets and 25% albinos and that's if nature plays to the stats.

Honestly blues will fluctuate in price and quality and looks, $500 is high but not a rip off. When buying hets its always a gamble, after all it is genetics and we cannot always see that.

Keep us posted on how they are doing.
