Default BCI Albinism

I've never bred snakes before but am hoping to get in to it in a year or so after some success with tarantulas. I'm new to the 'genetics' side of it (even though I work in a genetics laboratory) so have a question to clarify things.
I have a female BCI who is 100% het albino. If I breed her with an albino male what will I get?
Will the offspring that aren't visually albino all be 100% het albino?

Thanks

indeed

basically, with an albino bred to a het in a very simplified digram it is this:

(V = VISUAL, a = albino, caps = dominant = lower case = recessive)

Va aa
aa aa Va Va


that sort of method can often be used to determine genetics on a simple level, but when it gets to things such as dh ghost, etc it becomes more complicated!
