Type of albino?

This girl was given to me as a vague "albino". Anyone with good eyes?

Visually, you can't tell the difference between the Kahl and Sharp strains of albino. You need documented lineage from the breeder. Kahl is the more common strain by far. If you don't KNOW what line your albino is, it is safe to assume it's Kahl.

**Some say the Sharp line is brighter and holds color better than the Kahl line. Generally speaking that may be true to a certain extent, but I've seen some Kahls that absolutely blow Sharps out of the water. Selective breeding improves the individuals in any line. This is at least partly why we can't tell you with any certainty what line your albino is without documented lineage.

I'd say Kahl: why the neck swelling?

I was wondering if this snake was just fed, as in the tail of whatever it had it had just gone down the hatch.

Pictures 1 and 2 look a bit strange to me as well.

Any issues, or was it fed recently?

She was fed a few days ago and was bending around me funny. No health issues! She had a clean bill of health at the vet's and has been acting pretty fine
Perhaps it's because she was over me/my lap and I only took pictures of segments?

Well, I suppose I may never know. Would breeding her show anything about her genetics? I'm very interested in breeding her next year with a kahl male.

Oh! I think I see what you guys mean. I think it may have been my hand pushing skin or she just had a larger drink. This was after a little bath because she was blue.
