What are you, 12?
Anybody who has worked with "small snakes" for as long as I have, or has been in the field enough can tell you that what you had was a COLOR PHASE, VERY different from an albino.

No hard feelings.
Took me a minute to realize what you were referring to, I hope it doesn't keep you awake at night.
