Albino plus what?

I posted this message under a different heading and some how another person's post requesting help identifying a morph got merged with mine. Maybe this forum is still glitching after the server crash or something.

Rescued this guy off of Craigslist the owner said he’s about three years old and he was feeding him rat pinkies. He’s extremely under weight but I think with a little TLC he’ll be okay. Owner was selling him as an albino but he clearly he has more than one morph. I’m guessing spider, pinstripe, or enchi.

What do you think?

As you can see his spine is extruding but seems healthy otherwise. He weighs 600g. I let him settle in for a day and fed him a small rat. He hit it like he hasn't eaten in a month probably because he hasn't.

Happy beep! He is going to fatten up real quick.

I have a guy at work who comes in weekly for one live mouse.....I asked how old his snake is and he said 23. It's a BP. I was like one mouse? Just one? I was dumb founded. Mouth open like wha, what!

I've been looking on-line and it maybe champagne or bumblebee.

I'm thinking either albino champagne or albino bumblebee

Can you take some pics in different lighting ?

Actually at 600 grams he is big enough to breed. Usually they say 500 grams is the minimum but I've heard of them breeding even smaller, I'm actually breeding a male this year that's 450 grams, hopefully he does OK with the big girls. But at 3 years old your snake should be mature enough. If you really want to find out what is in him you should breed him to one or more normal females. All the babies will all be het for albino but all the other morphs will pop out.

Here's a big normal girl for a hundred bucks. I've had snakes this big shipped in, actual shipping is about $85, but if you find a breeder that ships a lot I've had two big snakes in one huge box shipped in for $40, some breeders have volume deals with FedEx.

I actually use quite a few normal females for breeding, they are cheap and can give you a lot of info about what's in your males, not to mention if you breed them with a high end morph you can get a lot of nice babies fast. If you bred a normal with a five or six gene male you could get a rainbow of morphs.

Albino Spider

Albino spider was my first guess but I have a female albino spider and the pattern is a lot different that's why I was thinking there might be some pastel.

If you're curious there's a picture of my female in my gallery.

It is possible there may be Pastel, the quality of your pic is not the best to determine from. That said... Consider that there is a great deal of variability when it comes to these animals -- not all Spiders look identical, not all Albinos look identical, not all Albino Spiders look identical. Also, consider age differences in the animals. Ontogenetic colour change can cause a shift you might not expect
