Amels and albinos are the same thing. The more technically correct term is amelanistic, which means that the snake is missing black pigment. Sometimes people call these snakes albinos. They have red to pink coloration, and some translucent white coloring (which becomes more opaque as they grow), and orange on their background color, too. As hatchlings, you'll mainly see red/pink and the translucent white.
Sometimes you'll also hear the term "black albino," which means the snake is missing the red pigments, but has the black. These snakes are anerythristic, and look black and white as hatchlings.
