Rare White Snake Found In Australia. See Pics Here

in #news7 years ago

A stunning and incredibly rare white snake was found in Northern Territory, Australia. The slaty-grey snake, usually dark brown in colour, was born with an 'incredibly rare genetic mutation', according to Territory Wildlife Park. The snake was rescued from the wild and handed over to the park by a local, according to their Facebook post. Slaty-grey snakes are non-venomous and native to Australia.

In the comments section of their post, the park clarified that the snake is not albino but leucistic, meaning that there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal. The black eyes of the reptile prove that it is leucistic, since albino animals have pink eyes.IMG_20170801_062629_397.jpg
