Albino Texas Rat Snake??

[King21]

Has anyone ever heard of an albino texas rat snake? I just picked one of these guys up and that is what he called it. He said it is very difficult to breed an albino texas rat morph. Well, the snake was only 35 bucks and it has awesome colors so i thought i would buy it. It kinda looks like a cross between a butter and a caramel maybe. Just curious if anyone else has one of these "albino texas rat snakes" or has even heard of it.

This thread isn't about corn snakes, so I'm moving it to General Chit-Chat.

Sorry I thought corns and rats were pretty much interchangable. I guess not here. no worries

If it is pure white with grey/blue eyes, then it's actually leucistic (lacking all pigment, whereas albino is lacking black pigment). If it's a yellow-ish color and is still young, then it could very easily be an albino. Pictures would help.
Although, isn't the albino version of TX rats sort of rare in the pet trade, at least compared to the availability of albino black rats? Maybe someone with more knowledge could chime in here.

Well she isnt all white. she is white with orangish brown saddles going all the way down. her eyes are black in the middle and orange-brown on the outside. Her belly is white about 1/3 down from her head and then it starts like a clear color checkered pattern (where black would be on a normal snake) all the way to the tail. The guy who sold it to me said that they are extremely rare. I'll try to get a picture sometime soon.

Does anyone recognize this type of snake?
