Albino Retic Question

[collisonzoo]

We just picked up this albino retic in Kalamazoo yesterday, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me for sure what phase of albino it was or, if you can't tell from the picture, how I would be able to tell. It is about 10 ft. long and probed female. We are starting a breeding project with lavenders and purples, and I was hoping to be able to figure out if she will fit in with our project. Any opinions or comments would be welcome.

Thanks!

white phase. or it could be an amel, but for me to personally say, id need a pic of her eyes. if Angel would chime in hes more knowledgeable about the amel gene then i am. the lavender, purple and white phase are all the same strain of albino (clark strain) and depending on the male you put with her (what colour phase HE is) will determine what kind of colour ratio you'll have for the babies.

I'm hoping she's a white phase! Here is a closeup of her head. I don't know if it gives you a good enough shot of the eyes. If not, I can see if I can get a better picture of her eyes.

I got her as a probable male and was hoping to put "him" with my purple female this year, but it looks like I'll be waiting until my purple male's big enough next year and see what we get.

Thanks for the help!

eyes look like a clark strain.
