Albino
This is an Albino Carpet Python – a tyrosinase-negative (T−) color morph that eliminates all dark pigment, resulting in vivid yellow, orange, and cream tones with characteristic red eyes. Albinos listed without a subspecies qualifier (such as "pure Darwin") are animals whose lineage includes more than one Morelia spilota subspecies.
The Albino mutation originated in Darwin Carpet Pythons (M. s. variegata) and is inherited as a simple autosomal recessive trait. Even in mixed-subspecies backgrounds, the amelanistic phenotype is fully expressed – though color intensity and contrast can vary depending on the individual's genetic background.
As one of the most established recessive morphs in the complex, Albino is a key building block for combinations such as Sunglow (Hypo + Albino), Snow (Albino + Axanthic), and Moonglow (Hypo + Albino + Axanthic).
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Philip at StarPythons. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and exceeded my expectations. Importing two carpet pythons from Europe might sound stressful, but Philip made it incredibly easy and kept me informed every step of the way. Both animals arrived safely, right on schedule, and in excellent condition. You can immediately tell they were well cared for, alert, healthy, and exactly as described. It’s clear that Philip takes pride in the quality of his animals and the service he provides. If you’re considering adding to your collection, especially through an import, I highly recommend StarPythons. This was a five-star experience all around, and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Philip again.
