    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hello!=, hope I'm in the right area.

I was given a Burmese Python for a birthday/early Christmas gift. There was not history with the boy sadly, other then he's an albino [came from a Utah reptile show], but there's something about his pattern that's bugging me. Like I've seen the pattern before but can't place it, as it doesn't seem to fit a normal albino pattern.

Would anyone be able to help take a guess of what this boy might be? I almost want to say a pearl type but am not used to them.

I'm not a Burmese python expert by any means, but that looks like an albino green Burmese to me.
 
I would say he's a normal albino as well.

Normal albinos can be a very WIDE variety in patterns based on the bloodlines they come from, the pattern is really distinctively altered is with the labyrinth gene so you can always spot that. But albino can throw some very consistent patterns, or some really whacky ones. Green gives you more spots than anything.
 
That is a pearl burmese python, or a hypo albino. That is why the yellow is lighter on it, and contrasts more than just white and yellow
 
Looks light just a normal Albino from the pictures. Hybinos tend to look softer in color.
Good luck with him!
