You might want to check the color pictures of albino boas in various threads in the main boa forum. From what I've seen, albino boas do not have the nice yellow color of albino Burmese pythons. As color preferences are a Your Mileage May Vary situation, it pays to do some research.

I agree with Dave Colling (rainbows-r-us). As far as I know, human albinos usually wear sunglasses to minimize eye discomfort. I don't think going outside for short periods would do more than make the snake uncomfortable, particularly if it is kept out of direct sunlight. I do think that an albino snake can sunburn. Anyway, in these days, I'd be more worried about neighbors and passersby having negative reactions to the snake than about the reaction of the snake to sunlight.
