Wow. I would give my right foot for that snake. It isn't just any albino; it's a reverse okeetee! Wow, those are expensive. You can keep it in a 20 gal but it won't be very happy. The enclosure should be at least 2/3 the length of the snake. Corns get big (ish). If you can find a local herp society, you can get someone to probe the snake for free. It's not hard. From the top, I can't really tell if it's a male or female; could you get a pic of the underside of the tail and email it to me? I could give you a fairly accurate prediction.

from the shape of the tail it looks like a male, but probing is the best way to determine that. It is a reverse Okeetee and a beautiful one at that. I would love to have that snake, interested in selling???? The prey in the one picture looked a little large for it...but then pics can be deceiving, just make sure the lump that is left doesn't show after 24 to 48 hours, if it does, you need to go back a size in mice. 20 gallon would work out fine for the lifetime of the snake.

I thought I answered this question today... If the photos are the same snake, you have a male albino cornsnake with nice markings and color. A 20 gallon long will do nicely as an enclosure for the rest of his life.. you may use a larger enclosure if you like but a 20 L is fine.

It shouldn't be more than 15$ to get a snake sexed.

That is a beautiful corn snake. The breeder I bought my two babies from said a 20gal long tank is fine throughout their life. So I suppose it's a matter of preference. My two seem to enjoy the 20 long just fine, so I have no intention of moving them any time soon.
