    But I also disagree that it would be common sense that a super cinny albino would be an all white snake. A super cinny is solid brown, so there is obviously a coat of yellow pigment throughout.
    This is not necessarily the case. I agree with andwhy that it'll be an all white snake. The super black pastel and super cinny are basically animals expressing melanin over their whole body. I would guess (and this is just a guess) that the super cinnys are "brown" because they are not expressing the melanin to as high a level as the super black pastels not because they are likewise producing the yellow pigment over their whole body as well and it is competing with the melanin to make the black turn brown.

    To get an all orange snake you would need something that is expressing the yellow pigment over its entire body. As I noted above, the patternless animals of VPI and RDR look to be doing this, at least based on their appearance alone. You would need to do the breeding to be sure. And, as Bearded noted, the champagne may also be a candidate for this though an albino of this would likely have some markings on its back corresponding to the typical patterning of champagnes.
