The morphs have shown up in many other snakes, especially commonly kept venomous species. There is an albino timber rattler right now on the classifieds for $30,000. Albino diamondbacks are quite common. I've also seen albino common garters,monocled cobras, a picture of an albino Russell's viper, and on a German website a Dumerils boa that looked hypo or albino.
The reason ball and Burms are all you seem to see is balls, Burms, retics and common boas account for an extremely high percentage of pet snakes. The rest just aren't common enough to find out without some serious digging.

Now that I think of it, I believe there is a picture of an albino carpet python found near Darwin, Australia in Pythons of the World.
