No. Albino snakes are not a specific group of animals, and thus cannot be defined as endangered or not. Albinism is a recessive genetic trait that can occur in many species ranging from fish to humans. Albino animals rarely live long in the wild as their light color meas they are easily spotted by predators and, if the animal is a predator, their prey. The lack of pigment leaves them vulnerable to ultraviolet radiation.
