Wow!

Well, you've got a couple of double hets for albino and lavender there, but they sure aren't normal. The top left snake has some sort of pattern mutant. And the bottom right snake is even further from normal.

Is the albino parent striped? I couldn't tell from the picture. If so, then the high white baby might be a combination of striped and whatever pattern mutant that top left snake has.

Mating two double hets for albino and lavender should produce
9/16 normal looking
3/16 albino
3/16 lavender
1/16 albino lavender

IMHO, there is a strong probability that albino will hide the effect of the lavender mutant gene. Which would make the albino lavender look just like the albinos. If so, about the only way to tell whether a given albino is also lavender is to breed it to a lavender.
