The pic isn't very clear but I say lavender.

Lavenders have deep ruby-colored eyes, almost looking blackish in dim light. The head scales on lavenders are opaque, with no black pigment around the face. On hypos, you see clear outlines on the head scales, and the darkest pigment on a hypo seems to be around the head and face area. The snake in the pic looks like it has no dark pigment around the face.

this is true he has no black pigment at all. but does not have ruby colored eyes. his eyes are normal colored.
