I would personally just prove out that those guys have hypo in them, its like the male you borrowed me, it was a unknown het for albino and then it turns out my het albino female was a het hypo/ghost/anery as well.
When the first Hypo/ghost/anery was proven out they were bred with albinos so originals that was sold too the public were hets.
Its not financially worthwhile to sell hets so the majority are just sold as normals or as the visual morph.

I asked a related question a while back and got a single response, which was satisfactory to me, that T- overrides the T+ expression because what makes T+ unique is the fact that that Tyrosinase remains, but then the T- gene removes that again. So you end up with just a T- albino.

I always assumed that T+ would override T- just shows, but I never really bothered breeding the two strains together.

The permits are easy if the seller is willing to wait, we have no problem importing animals from other provinces.
I had some trouble in the past when I imported exotics with a letter from the person in KZN and then once I had inspection the official tried to fine me for taking the snake out of KZN illegally but its something easily sorted out.

I would just like to rectify something you mentioned. KZN does require export permits for indigenous reptiles, but not for exotics. They require import permits for exotics, but not for indigenous. This is according to their 1974 Ordinance which is still in use.
