Reptilian parents on both sides.

some sort of albino (but im sure you already figured that part out lol)

Here's another picture of her:

Albino IMG?

albino pinstripe

I haven't a clue - her pattern is "normal", but I'm not sure on all the yellow where the white normally is on normal albinos.

Bands are too thick for pinstripe... Not a pastel. Albino YB?

Looks like what is sometimes called a Yellow Blush Albino.

Thanks for the replies! Let me clarify something to avoid confusion: I purchased her as a regular Albino, but while on she was on display at a show multiple people and vendors commented that she looked like a specific combo... The fact that there is little history on her makes me wonder.

Can you explain your reasoning?

tell us pleaseeee

Well pinstripe gene, being the dominant gene that it is would add a stripe down its back to say the least. Pastel Albinos do get a sort of yellowish wash over them as they age, but not to that extent (to my knowledge). Next logical place for me was to go to yellow belly. YB seem to have strange effects on most other morphs.

Looks like a Yellow Blush Albino to me.

I would have guessed that it was a double or triple gene combo including pastel, albino and maybe a third color mutation. I love it whatever it is, and I hope you prove it out to be something or multiple somethings that make the white so yellow. The hyper xanthism/xanthic wash is pretty crazy looking. The yellow head definitely points to a second or third gene other than t- albinism, and the normal pattern says that it isn't anything that effects pattern. It's not IMG, but very IXG. I wonder what that snake would look like if it was also homogygous VPI axanthic. It would probably be nearly all white or a very light, almost solid gray wash. Do you know what the parents were?

Thank you everyone for your replies!

So Pastel Albinos aren't as yellow as my Albino is? I've never seen one in person, but I've heard that they "glow" and have yellow heads.

Can you explain the genetics behind the Yellow Blush Albino, please. I know that certain animals from that project hatch out like Axanthics and then color up after their first shed. If she is a Yellow Blush Albino, should her babies hatch out black and white then? Does this indicate that they are Het for Yellow Blush (and in this case Double Het Yellow Blush Albino)? Thanks for your input you two. Also, can you post some links to pictures of Yellow Blush Albinos? Thanks!

I was thinking that she was a Pastel Albino and I've had people who've seen her in person ask me if she is a Pastel Albino. Hopefully she has something going on, but if not she's at least a pretty Albino. I know it's almost an over-used statement, but those pictures don't do her justice. It is extremely hard to capture her true "look" on camera. That's as close as I could get.

:8::rolleye2: you funny

is that a yellowbelly albino?

its hard to see its so bright but it looks like its a black back albino

Can't say I've seen anything like that before. Looks like an albino spider but where there should be white, there's a different shade of yellow. I'll have to Google albino blush pythons; I've never heard of those before.

An albino that someone colored on with a yellow highlighter marker? :rofl:

I'm trying to think of what morph has yellow in what would normally be its black areas, and I'm not coming up with anything off the top of my head.

It looks similar to a granite albino, just not as clean of a pattern.

You can find a picture on Ralph Davis's site in the matrix area. I thought it looked familiar. It could just be the picture, but it seems like yours may just be a little lower white. The pattern is very very similar though. The light orange markings along the back and the lighter orange alien heads with dark orange spots within. Just seems to make sense.

*brain explodes*

Nice animal for sure, but I think its just a normal albino. I dont own any adult albinos, but judging strictly from those I have seen it looks to have aged similarly to the others I have seen. Hopefully she proves out to be something special for you.

Wow! Those are cool! I see some similarities but also a lot of differences. It's really hard to capture on camera, but mine is very low contrast. There are the different colors and the pattern, but everything is like a mix of yellow/orange. I'm partially color blind, so it's even harder for me to try and describe it, let alone try and capture her exact shade of color on camera. I think the first picture comes extremely close, though. She is just so bright! I always look forward to opening up her tub.
