They are Tyrosinase Positive albinos. What you are used to seeing is Tyrosinase Negative albinos. A T- albino is missing the ingredients to produce melanin alltogether... a T+ albino has the ingredients but they are unable to mix to some degree. There are leaky T+ albinos and non-leaky ones. The caramel line is the VPI line that tends to be somewhat leaky. An example of a non-leaky line is tom burke's nicaraguan T+'s (see them at his site, www.burkereptiles.com ).

These are extremely high $$ snakes! A pair of caramel T+ albinos are up at KingSnake from VPI right now for 35k!
