Well that's easy to do with an albino x albino clutch

Are you talking about the browns/yellows/etc or are you suggesting that pattern as well develops late? Because I have seen younger dead snakes (removed from the egg) that look axanthic and just havent started forming their colors, but the pattern was there and the darks were dark. Considering that albinos switch whites for darks and that white will allow more light to pass through I would think they would be one of the easiest early snakes to guess at (along with lucys).
