Your snake is amelanistic. It does not produce the pigment for black or brown. The are two genes that produce this type of animal. That is to say that you can breed two amelanistic snakes and get nornal offspring.
You say that you breed your snake to an albino before. What color was your snake albino for? Red/Yellow, or Brown/black? If it was missing brown pigment, and all your offspring were normal, then those offspring are het for both forms of the amelanistic genes. If your snake was missing the red pigment, then those snakes would be het for one of the amenanistic genes and het for the anerythism.
With this information, you should be able to figure out what back cross you want to try.
