In a community in Jiangbei District, Ningbo, Zhejiang, a mysterious snake with a snow-white body and red eyes like gems swam in the green belt of the community, attracting onlookers.With their rich experience, they quickly determined that this was not a native species, but a pet snake that "ran away from home".
After gently catching the white snake with a professional snake catcher, the firefighters found that it was emaciated and had obvious abdominal ribs. It was inferred that it had not eaten for many days.
In order to solve the mystery of the identity of the white snake, the fire station has specially linked up with the Jiangbei District Chongying Natural Museum.After identification, the white snake turned out to be the famous Blizzard Corn Snake in the reptile circle.
At present, the snake has been temporarily kept by the Natural History Museum. At the same time, the community property management will continue to search for the owner of the snake. If no one claims it after the expiration date, the white snake will be taken into custody by the museum.
It is understood that the blizzard corn snake is a kind of corn snake, which is non-venomous. Because its body is white, it is called the blizzard corn snake. Corn snakes are commonly found in gray, grayish brown to khaki, orange, etc., and white is extremely rare.
This snake belongs to the family Colubridae and is native to dry woodlands, swamps, farmland and other places along the southeastern United States and the Gulf Coast. After being domesticated, it is easy to get close to people and is suitable as a family pet.
