Possible lavender (t+)??

First time for me posting here in the Kingsnake section. This guy is technically my wife's (I'm more interested in boids), but I got him out yesterday to snap a couple pics.

He was sold to us a het for albino (which I have no reason to doubt, since we picked him above 5 or 6 of his clutch-mates which included some nice albinos). After a few sheds, we started noticing he was looking a bit translucent. He's actually continued to get lighter as he has grown, as well.

Other than just showing him off, I was wanting to get others' opinions on him. Instead of a just a het, it certainly looks to me like he's actually a rather dark lavender (or t+). These pictures kind of show his translucence, but as usual his colors aren't very accurate. Instead of the brown shade he appears below, he's more of a violet shade. A couple months ago I managed to catch a glimpse of his pupil in bright light before his iris contracted and it was a dark ruby red. I wish I would have gotten pictures, but it's pretty hard to catch.

Anyways, what are your opinions on him? Does he look like a dark t+ to you? Have you ever seen one this shade?

Thanks.

It could be a strain of hypo/lavender T+ or sometimes multi hets will have this same look. Usually ones that are het for both albino and lavender.

He's definitely not a normal. I'm not an expert on CK morphs, but I would say he's probably a hypo. I know that their are several strains of hypo CK, and some of them look like that.
