I have also seen Nelsons Milksnake albinos mixed into the mexicana family.. but for the most part I think it is from the ruthveni lines.

What do you think about this guy?
The color on the pic is verry bad, the snake is verry yellow.

But it is not a thayeri, most likely it is a "pastel king" or some other line of ruthveni hybrids. The Nelsons crosses I have seen did not have bands that thin, but I guess if you backcross them into a thayeri a few times that could be changed as well.
