Question Lavender or Albino California King?

So I picked up this little gal at PetSmart of all places. Normally I avoid buying animals from big box stores like the plague but she was just too nice to pass up. They had identified her as a high red Goins king snake, which made me laugh. I'm sure she's a California king and originally I assumed she was an albino. But then I looked closer and realized her eyes aren't fully red... only her pupils are red.

I'm thinking Lavender because she's darker than most albinos and because her eyes aren't solid bright red. The only thing that makes me doubt this is that usually the irises of a Lavender's eyes are more blueish and hers are more yellowish. Maybe she could even be a Lavender albino?

What do you all think?

BTW she looks like a Delilah to me. Unless anyone's got another suggestion that jumps out that's probably what I'll name her.

There is a clear shot of her eyes only because she stopped wriggling long enough to bite me.
