Aw, what a cutie. Such bright, pretty colors for a youngster.
Don't apologize for any confusion about terms. There are so many, and the trade names add more layers to learn. "Amel" is/isn't "albino." The two are sometimes used interchangably. Sometimes you can see the term "red albino" for amel.
Part of the difficulty is because reptiles have more complex coloration than mammals. Amelanistic means lacking melanin, a dark pigment. An amelanistic mammal is white with pink/red eyes. But a snake with no melanin (amel) has plenty of color because it still has plenty of other pigments. Erythrins, for example, which produce red toned. "Anery" is short for "without erythrin." Make sense?
