Albino granite Burmese python is a mutation of common Burmese python. Its first discovery was in early 1980s. Not until when python breeder Bob Clark obtained one of these animals and produced the first ever captive bred albino Burmese python in 1986. Though popularly called albino, this snake technically exhibit amelanism, or what we called as lack of pigment. Then in late 1995, another mutation of the Burmese python was found in the wild. These snakes were colored typically, but their pattern was different. Covering the animals in small, irregular dark blotches on the dorsal and lateral sides, the new mutation was coined “granite”.
Albino granite Burmese pythons display both mutations. Like albinos, they have red eyes and like granite pythons, they have patternless bellies; they are essentially red, yellow and white versions of the granite mutation. Over time, the markings fade somewhat, and they essentially become white and yellow snakes.
