That's a great-looking Ruthven's Mr. Lassiter!

From what I've seen, all baby albino Nelson's have white where the black would be in a normal. Like John said, some "switch colors" of their yellow and white bands as they age.

This made for great fun when I used to do reptile shows and take my adult Nelson's because everybody knows when it comes to banding:

"Red touches black, friend of Jack,
Red touches yellow, kill a fellow."

I had a heck of a lot of "newbies" try to tell me my snakes were "poisonous."
