I'd say it's not a Lavender Albino. They are much more purple than this and the eyes are a lot darker.

Banana is also a funny morph as it's subjective; to me a Banana must have a lot more yellow and less black (or in the Albino case, pink)

I am also not 100% sure, but I would say that is an Aberrant Albino, but a very pretty snake you have there.

It can be tough to tell in photographs if a king is a lavender or an albino. The eyes on an albino are pink. In a lavender they are a dark ruby red. Its hard to see the eyes in this picture. It could be an albino. And I agree with the poster above, it should have more of a percentage of yellow to be a banana. I'd call it an aberrant albino if its an albino.
