Normal? or not..
I've noticed since i've got turbine, when out up to the light, she's basically see through. I mean you can see her organs and everything. I thought it was because her skin might be thin, but my fiance thinks there's something wrong with her.
what do you guys think? also, if it is her skin being thin, as she grows older, will it make her skin thicker? She's a luecistic texas rat snake, a slight pink tint to her.

Totally normal because of the skin color. Nothing to worry about.

Normal. Sometimes when I look at my albino garter, her whole head glows red. Depending on the lighting tho.

Re: Normal? or not..
you cannot keep freaking yourself out. I'm glad you're asking lots of questions but try and think about things critically.
If she was sick she wouldn't eat or be active. In fact, the constant meddling and fussing about can do more harm than good.
Chill out and enjoy your animals

i did think it was normal, my fiance thought she was sick because he's never seen a snake like this before. only snakes hes had were boas and pythons.

If he can't figure out that leucistic+ dark blood and organs+ light = slightly see through than i wouldn't put much weight behind his keeping knowledge.
Follow your instincts.

Agreed.
It's perfectly normal. My albino is fairly see-through, even without holding him up to the light. The dark blob near in his throat worried me until I took a closer look and realized it was his heart. I would be more selective in believing your fiance. He's getting you worried over things you don't need to be worried about.

Use a bright enough light and you can see through your own skin...
