You would get a clutch of heterozygous for Albino Burms, which look just like a normal burm but carry one of the Albino genes. Albinism is a homozygous trait and requires two genes to become visible, so to produce albino animals you would either need an albino X het. albino, het. albino X het. albino, or albino x albino.
Here is a link to a good visible explanation: http://ballpythons.ca/what_get/recessive.html

If your dad's snake is normal colored but het for albino, they should be 50-50, albinos and normals. If your dad's snake is not het, they should be all normals, but all het for albinos. If both of your snakes are het for green, you might end up with a green albino or two. Many of the "normal" burms you see are het for albino because it's become such a common morph, so you might get a pleasant suprise.

In conjunction with the first answer, you would get hets, not all 100% het, and then you'd have to breed those hets with the greatest visible albinism trait back to the albino parent for a generation (one to two breedings) to get a nice albino outcome.

just like the first poster said, they would be 100% het for albino but would look like normals, you would not get any albino babies from the breedings. how big are the burms you have are they big enought to breed, make sure they are before you breed them
