No body has been able to tell me what kind of burmese this is. Hopefully someone on here can.

Exactly what do you mean by "what kind"? If you mean the name of the color morph, it may well be one of a kind, in which case, it's called whatever it's owner feels like calling it. There may be no "official" name.

I've never seen one quite like it, but maybe someone else here knows something...

Looks to me like an extremely light Labyrinth morph albino. Very interesting snake. Anyone else?

It looks like a hybino A double het in there somewhere it is hypo and albino just a guess.

Double recessive, or Double Homozygous, not double het. a double het for recessive most generally appears normal. I would agree on the hybino guess.

I've seen a number of normal looking albino Burmese Pythons that when kept outside for a long time fade out and look exactly like that. My guess that's an albino Burmese that has simply been kept outside for an extended period of time...thanks

That was my first thought, but I don't think so for two reasons.

1) There's a sharp cutoff (along pattern lines, not at a specific height) between the parts that have a lot of yellow and the parts that do not.
2) Parts of the pattern that would have the brightest yellow/orange on an albino are white on this specimen while parts that would have lighter yellow still show up.

I've seen a few sun-bleached burms like you describe, this looks different to me. But I certainly could be wrong. It's happened once or twice before...
