Lighting makes a huge difference when it comes to color, I don't think the OP used a flash.

And I thought that it looked like an albino Colombian at first (not a true BCC redtail)...but after there was doubt from some posters I started to rethink it myself! :P

Looks like an albino "red tail" (not guessing at subspecies or locality) to me. Also..is that spit/saliva/mucous in the first photo? If it was yawning excessively and that is in fact mucous all built up in it's mouth, i'd be concerned about URI. If not, then neat pics.

I was wondering about that, also. It looked and acted more like saliva would, and yawned two times. I could always ask them about it when I go back.

And they're heat pits, they detect small changes in temp, like a tasty rat, or a place to regulate. Not scent pits, :)lol

Pits are pits are pits to me, lol. As long as the snake knows what it's doing, I don't worry about it. :D

Yeah Im pretty sure pythons are the only snakes that have HEAT pits

Pit vipers have heat sensing pits.
