Andrew, almost any snake could be found as an albino, including the black mamba.
I have never seen a photo of one though.
Best Regards JohnZ

I have never heard of one before. It is of course a possibility for one to exist and it would be a very interesting snake to see. It definitely would not survive in the wild, like albino's of almost any species.

albinos can and do live in the wild....years ago i had baby albino corns escape the incubator,only 1 or2, and i didnt really didn't think much about it...then last year my nieghbor brought me over a 3ft albino corn he had found on the other side of his house...i had never lost an adult.....my albino canebrake was a yearling with scares when she was found...there was a three yr old albino snapping turtle found in myrtle beach last year, man found it in his ditch...there was an albino yellow rat snake also found in myrtle last year...it was two ft long.....and there is a colony of albino rat snakes living in the wilds of japan...japan even protects them....not to mention the number of other morphs that are imported as sub adults or adults into this country every year....albinos just have a much harder time in an already hard world, but they are found....i will be out again this year looking for a couple albinos...one seen crossing the road in front of a lady's house and i will be looking for siblings to my canebrake....
if there is an albino black mamba out there, you will probably here nothing of it till it's bred...some people like to keep new morphs under their hats till their established...i'd like to see an albino king cobra...

Almost (there are always exceptions) every mutation - inc. albinos - are descendents from one WC animal that someone cared enough about to establish by implemeting it into a captive breeding program. These animals are like "diamonds in the rough" and should be given special attention as they inspire and capture the attention of many. Most HATERS whine about it being "all about the $money$" but that is a response indicative of jealousy in my opinion. Jealous that they don't have the means to obtain such an animal or jealous that these animals get more attention because they are indeed "different" or unique. I can't wait till the day I see my first Albino King Cobra. I know they're out there.....somewhere. I just hope I live long enough to see it with my own two eyes. If not, a Leucy would do LOL.....

I actually saw a pic of one today on a friends wall on facebook. It was plainly on a concrete driveway or some similar platform so I imagine it wasn't out in the wild. It was solid pink with an almost white underbelly, very strange looking snake but also very beautiful too even though it is still extremely deadly!! I would be happy to provide the picture if anyone is interested.

Would have been very cool, but I immediately thought the head didn't look quite right...
