Laura is right. They wouldn't be albinos due to the melanin in their eyes. Leucistic is the term for white snakes with dark eyes. Google "leucistic Burmese python" and "leucistic reticulated python" and take a look. They're beautiful!

It's said that two "hypo" Burmese pythons bred together can produce leucistics. I believe most of the hypos around are too young to reproduce this year but hopefully we'll see some leucistics a lil' over a year from now.

You also might want to take a look at some of the leucistic rat snakes. Some have bug eyes but there are some breeders that have magnificient breeders that produce gorgeous babies. Contact me & I can guide you to at least one. That's most likely my next snake purchase & will have to do me for several years for the price of a leucistic Burmese python to come with my price range.

Take care!
