No. For the most part when an albino is mentioned people mean an Amelanistic. If you wanted to get technical though there are 2 corn albinos out there. the "Red Albino" (Amel) & "Black Albino" (Anery). But in short. No, A Snow and albino are not the same.)

Question

so a snow is a corn lacking amel and anery, basicaly a white canvas? so if i breed my normal corn with the snow i should have normal babies with het for snow unless my normal corn is het for amel or anery, which will show in the babies? what about a hypo snow, what is hypo exactly?

A snow lacks red and black pigment therfore it is a combination of Amel (which lacks black) and Anery (which lacks red). So, they are white and will usually take on a yellowish colored tone.

Normals most commonly carry the gene for anery or amel so if you breed a snow to it, you will have a chance at getting either amels or anerys. Whichever he's het for. This is only if he is het though.

No one I know produces hypo snows exept for Mikes Motleys. Not even sure if he still has those, though.

Good luck!

Hypos are those snakes that have a reduction of black in their coloration. The word "hypomelanism" means literally "under black," referring to the reducing of the melanin levels shown. The same greek word "hypo" is used in the name "hypodermic," which describes those needles that go "under the skin."

Therefore, I am not certain what benefit a hypo snow would produce. A reduced black effect on an animal that has no black? I know that it may very well reduce the width of the markings on the animal that would have been black on a normally colored specimen, but is that really something to seek? Maybe for some, but I doubt I'd be much interested.

Here's a link to the picture of the Hypo Motley that I mentioned from Mike's Motleys. Appears to just have intensified the yellow. very awesome snake although I don't think he still has it.
