: : It's dark red like a normal albino of many Elaphe species.
: albinos always have red eyes with no black coloration!!
: i think that this might be reverse mutant or heterozygot.
: what is your opinion?
I think you are seeing something that isn't there. The picture wasn't taken directly of the eye, but it does not look to far off from many normal albino snakes. Corn snake's eyes are too even colored pink -- that isn't the norm for all species.
If it was a heterozygote (of a simple Mendelian recessive gene), it wouldn't show any traits of albinism.
What the heck is a reverse mutant? A ninja thatturns into a turtle?
