If you're worried, bump up your temps to 95.


Your vet is correct that *some* albino animals have see through skin.
But as snakes have scales covering their skin, you wouldn't be able to see the vessels.
What she described is often seen in animals that have exposed skin. For example, In albino rats, you can see their vessels in their ears and tail.

I've seen my albino shed hundreds of times. The eyes hardly change. You can barely tell he's in shed. He does get a little dull, but that's about it. His eyes doesn't get milky or opaque like other morphs. It just says red all the time. In shed, it gets a little lighter, but that's it.

Overall, Garrick is a good guy. I would trust him.
Just wait till she sheds.
And unless your vet took a culture, there is no way for her to truly diagnose an RI. Especially if she's not showing any of the other symptoms (mucous, bubbles, star gazing, etc)
sorry about the multiple threads. i accidently made the other one in the general section, so i made this one
