The only true albino python I have ever heard of was Sploff, (I think that was his name), the albino Olive. Some of his offspring were for sale through the Herp Trader at huge prices a few months ago. Never heard of Albino Coastals.

Yeah africa you was close it was ''spliff'' albino olive,i have only heard of hypomelanistic/heterozygous gene in coastals but am still not sure as to wether they r real or not.What made you ask bout albino coastals did you see something or hear about it?in the states they have alot of coastal variations.

I have also seen pictures of a Blackheaded python where the colours on the body were normal, but there was no black on its head. It was all white.

Oh, well, that's all white then!

Bob W in Gosford has a beautiful albino BHP. It's head is almost all white, but has some black spots. Lovely critter!

I know what ya mean gloves old boy, thats what I thought of Spliff, really freaky looking thing and I would not want to own one, (apart from the value side of it that is).
