I Bought this corn today from a pet store near my house and they said it was a Black Albino Corn....but i'm not really sure....he looks whitish-gray with almost crimson/caramel saddles??

...but if your snake has any red on him at all, he's NOT a black albino (anerythristic).

I thought Albino meant "the absence of black"?

the meaning of albino is not the absense of black per se...because there are animals without black on them normally (regular red cornsnake for example) that are albino. According to websters, it means "A person or animal lacking normal pigmentation, with the result being that the skin and hair are abnormally white or milky and the eyes have a pink or blue iris and a deep-red pupil." This doesnt mean totally white...if you look at some albino black corns they are white with black spots on 'em...I think they look pretty cool!
