my dads friend once got a albino indian python with no pattern eccept for a long stripe down its back. it was 18 feet long. he later took it to the zoo to see what speicies it was (he didnt know it was an indian yet)and they called the cops on him cause apparintly it was indangered and he got charged 10,000 dollars for keeping it. then the stupid zoo got it. it was givin to him for free by a friend. i was just wondering? how much would one of these cost in the market? and how rare are they?

Could you get pics? If it was a true 100% pure albino indian then as far as I know it would be the only one. Regardless an albino indian is rare. An adult of breeding size would be worth quite a bit maybe in excess of the 10,000 he was fined. (Why would you ever bring any animal to a zoo to get it identified, NOT a good idea). They are endangered but that doesn't mean you still can't keep them.
