Default Butter Corn

Hi all,

Is it possible to have a butter corn snake with red /pink eyes, I have only noticed on my snake today.
Is this an Albino butter or can something else cause this.

Might be wrong but I thought all butters had red eyes?? Amel caramel... so no black pigment.... so red eyes...

If it doesn't have red eyes, it's not a butter.

As Amanda says, they're Amelanistic Caramels (AKA "albino" caramels) and can't have black pigment.
