I can predict that! The albino gene is also recessive. Let's assume that your melanistic snake does NOT carry a hidden albino gene (not het for albino) and that your albino snake does NOT carry a hidden melanistic gene (not het for melanism).
When you breed them together, the albino will give all offspring an albino gene, but the melanistic will give all offspring a non-albino gene. And, the melanistic will give all offspring the melanistic gene, but the albino will give all offspring a non-melanistic gene.
The result will be all "normals" which will be double het for melanism and albinism.
