Answer 1

Burmese Python that's albino .

Answer 2

It's an albino boa constrictor.  I used to take care of one at the science center I volunteered at.  They are very pretty, but they stink bad when they make a mess in their pens.

They don't have any venom, but have been known to kill people using constriction (hence the name).  People who handle them should never have them around their necks, like you see all the time.

Answer 3

either an albino burmese python or albino boa constrictor

the first link doesnt work

Answer 4

That is definitely an albino Burmese python, NOT a boa constrictor. I used to be a zookeeper and looked after 4 of these snakes. They are common in captivity and are often used for snake shows in zoos.

Answer 5

That most definitely is a boa constrictor

Answer 6

Looks like an albino boa constrictor. Pretty baby, but I could never own a snake that could get longer than I am tall, or that could eat anything bigger than a mouse... I'd be afraid it'd try to eat my cat or my miniacture dachshund, lol!

Answer 7

It appears to be some kind of albino boa constrictor - though unlike albinos in other animals, albino boas are specifically bred for that trait, so there are entire breeds of them.

Cute snake, though, whatever particular variant it is.

Anyhow, as a boa, it lacks venom, and relies on constriction - hence the name - to kill its prey; though it does have sharp teeth, they are mostly used either in self-defense, or too actually help pull a prey animal down its throat.
