Looks like an albino Burmese python to me. The market was flooded with them a few years ago. I sold my 7' female for $75. U.S. though they're worth more. I just don't have room.

Looks Like an Albino Burm from here, but the lack of any red color makes it look very nice too. Doesn't look like an 80000$ snake.
