As Paul noted, there are no confirmed T- albino snakes but that does not mean they are not out there. Given that only one species had been interrogated at the genetic level, and based on the inferred relationship between corns and rats that Paul also noted, we really only have a n=1 sample size so it is possible that one of the amelanistic-phenotype morphs out there in the entire hobby will turn out to be a true T-. I suspect we would be most likely find this to be the case in Burms or retics where there are 3-4 known amelanistic-phenotype
