I don't think that it is an "albino." I have an albino leucistic TR, and his eyes are pink.
The term albino is usually applied to snakes that completely lack black pigment. Your snake exhibits black (albeit of very reduced intensity) in its blotches. Also, he has black eyes. I could be way off-base, but I'd be more inclined to describe him as a hypomelanistic.
Where did you obtain him from? Where is Dwight Good? Hey, Dwight, what morph do you think this animal may be?

As I was once told by someone and looked up myself. Not all forms of albinism include ocular albinism, so an animal can be albino "amelanistic", but the eyes will be dark.

This morph is called a couple different things, hypo, lavender albino. Sure is a beautiful snake though, and the pics just dont do them justice.
