Ball pythons dont' always hunt just by smell, they also hunt by heat. It will take a bit of effort to get them to strike frozen thawed on heat alone. But if willing to put the effort in, it certianly is a great way to get an albino.
I, however, dont' suggest breeding them as the negative gene will start to get into the albino population down the line but then again, who is to say the tongued siblings of these albinos won't carry that gene anyway....Definitely these would need to carefully tracked to ensure no two albino or het albinos het also for the tongueless gene, are not interbred.
Though albino morphs and other such color/pattern morphs are all defective genes, they are, for breeder/collector/pet owners, positive defective genes. They wont survive in nature, or at least the more blantant ones won't (ie albino, lucy etc)
