"Chameleon" Snake found in Borneo Forest


A new species of poisonous snake was found in the Borneo forest by the WWF.

"I put the reddish-brown snake in a dark bucket," Mark Auliya, a German reptile expert and WWF consultant, said in a press release. "When I retrieved it a few minutes later, it was almost entirely white."

Pretty cool to see a change in color happen as a defense mechanism to go along with venom. Can't wait to hear some more information about this snake.
