It is a white Slaty Grey, which is native to Australia but this one has an incredibly rare mutation, as they are usually a dark brown colour. The nocturnal snake will be placed in quarantine at the Park to ensure it is free of any nasties that can harm our other animals and then be put on display for everyone to marvel at.
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.
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.
