Vinny, it means that all albinism in colubrids isnt housed in the same locus on the chromosone. The first albino ratsnakes were bred together and they produced normal offspring. These snakes were then studied and found to be T and T-(the original tyrosinase test). Now we know about different looking albinos, but we are still understanding that there can be multiple loci responsible for color change even within species. There are more than 1 "type" of anerythrism in corns, more than 1 type of hypomelanism, and should be more than 1 type of amelanism. Considering each milk a ssp, breeding albino ssp A to albino ssp B is important for knowledge of genetics even if the offspring arent notable or in demand.
