Default snakes

i have a few questions.
1)is there an albino version of all types of snakes?
2) if you put an albino with an anery or axanthic does it always eventually make a snow?
3)if it doesnt than what would you get?
thanks for any replies

Theoretically, any snake whose colouration pigments include melanin could produce an "Amelanistic" mutation. However, just because they can doesn't mean the gene's already been mutated. So you might not find, say, an amel Boelen's python. Doesn't mean they can't exist, just means nobody's found an animal with those mutant genes yet.

If you subtract the black pigment (Amelanistic) and subtract the red (Anerythristic) and/or yellow (Axanthic) or any other pigment, yes, you're likely to get a mostly white snake.
