FYI: The terms hypo and albino are not interchangable. An "albino" snake (amelanistic or anerythristic) will have those classic pink eyes. A snake that is "Hypo" is one that has fully working pigment cells that do not produce much pigment. A shake that is "Hyper" is one that is much darker than a normal wild type.
A White Oak Snake is an example of a hypo Gray Rat Snake. I myself have a hyper Gray Rat that is much darker then you normally see. I also have her sister, and she has normal coloring.
