An albino Dragon Snake was discovered by Indra Perdana in their natural habitat within Indonesia. Albinism, also referred to as amelanistic or "amel" for short, is a genetic mutation in which the animal lacks melanin, a pigment-producing amino acid.
The mutation is typically characterized by pink skin and red eyes, although this can vary depending on the type of albinism. This is one of the first confirmed, documented discoveries of a morphological variety in Xenodermus javanicus. Albinism is known to occur in various animals and is one of the most common color mutations found in the wild, especially in reptiles. There is much we have yet to discover about the Dragon Snake, and we look forward to the mysteries this fascinating species has for us to study and learn about!
THAT IS SO COOL!! I love dragon snakes, even though they are hard to take care of. They have the coolest little scutes on their back and they are so cute! An albino would be thousands of dollars, but still that is so sick!
I cant wait to see what kind of morphs of this snake get discovered! I wonder if one day they'll have as many morphs as ball pythons!
Stunning!
