my camera stinks,sorry about the pic quality...

It is difficult to tell from the angle of your photos, but it appears to be a burmese. What you need to look at closely is the scale arrangement under the eyes. Compare the photos I have posted below. Notice on the albino that above the labial scales along the upper lip there is another row of smaller scales between the labials and the orbit of the eye. This is the typical scale pattern for a burmese. The second photo is of a P. m. molurus from Sri Lanka. It has the same scale pattern below the eye that an indian would have. Notice that the labial scale (with the dark mark on it) below the eye extends all the way up to the orbit. There are no small scales between the labial scale and the eye. This is one method of distinguishing the burmese (P. m. bivittatus) from the Indian/Sri Lanka python (P. m. molurus).

According to my experience I think that it is an albino Python molurus molurus.

Currently I have a Python molurus molurus nepal locality and comparing the sopralabialis (labial scales) they are equal.

Following I put some photos to understand the difference among molurus bivittatus, molurus molurus and molurus pimbura.

I'm not an expert or anything. But considering how often indians are bred to burms (or at least use to be), that could just be the offspring of breeding an albino burm to an indian, and the kids back to them selves. Boom, "albino indian", but really it's probably P burm.

Just my guess.
