So is this a rock and the other a Burm? I was going say I'm 99% sure the other one was a Burmese. Now I'm doubting myself lol.

It's an albino Burmese python actually.

Two reasons;
Burms have block patterns in square-ish shapes, African rocks have a more swirling, wavey pattern down the back. Very easily distinguished.

The only genetic morph yet discovered in African rocks is patternless, there are no known albinos of this species

great looking snake,

I've read that Burmese and Indian rock are very closely related. So it wouldn't surprise me if it was an African rock.
