Amelanism and albino are basicly the same thing; albino is a general term meaning lack of a pigment, while amel is more specific, being the lack of melanin or black pigment.
 
What DaemoNox said. :) You may also see anerythristic (lacking red pigment) snakes being called "black albinos," and amelanistic snakes being called "red albinos."
