snoop1130 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 A rare blue snake, also known as a “Tiffany Blue” snake, was discovered by a 62 year old Thai woman in her backyard in Photharam, causing “hiss-teria” among her local community. The sighting, which has a one-in-a-million chance of occurring, coincidentally happened on a lottery day, leading locals to believe it to be a sign of good luck. The Thai woman who discovered the snake, Gosorn, explained that she initially spotted the snake on Sunday, October 1, nestled against her garden wall. Despite its unusual blue colour, she and her sister didn’t think much of it. However, when morning came and she found the snake still there, she noticed the numbers ‘0’ and ‘2’ and decided to place a bet on the lottery, which she won. She believes that the snake, which she has never encountered in her 62 years of life, is a harbinger of good fortune. The snake was later caught by her 27 year old grandson, Adisak, who decided to keep it as a pet at his home in Thammasen, Photharam. Adisak, also known as Frank, houses the snake in a plastic bottle with air holes and a small branch for the snake to coil around. He feeds it insects and notes that the snake measures approximately 1.5 centimetres in width and 31 centimetres in length. When lit by a flashlight, the snake exhibits an even more stunning appearance. Initially, Adisak didn’t realise the rarity of his find. He assumed it was just a common snake and didn’t take much interest in it until his girlfriend posted a picture of it in a snake group.

rwill Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I'd be careful handling that snake. A mutation of a green viper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torture of animals is against the law . More bad if it is rare . Officials should take it away and free it . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacovl46 Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) That's the blue color morph of the Indonesian pit viper, trimeresurus insularis. They're not native to Thailand. In other words it either escaped from a keeper or a breeder or it was released by someone. I have never heard anyone in the snake business refer to them as the "Tiffany blue snake!"
