    I'm no morph expert, however the lavender morph tends to run more orange and vibrant. What did the breeder/seller say it was?

    Even young lavender albinos tend to show some purplish hues around their head and necks. And from the photo it looks like i can see some purple ish. So if i had to guess id say lavender

    YESS!!! thats what i was seeing in some pictures when i would look up albino and the lavender would come up. I thought i was tripping when i looked at the snake and noticed the purple in the head and neck. Butnj was thinking do the regular albinos show purple too when young??

    As stated, I'm not up on morphs at all, but if I had to guess here, he looks "lavender" to me too.
