Somehow, the contract between the beautiful melanistic and white pattern against the bright white and yellow flowers makes this picture even more beautiful. It looks like this creature is not even real, like it came straight out of a fairytale. We can see it starring in a Disney movie as one of the wholesome talking animals.

This snake though, while is would still star in a Disney movie, would be the villain's main pet. We can imagine the way its coloring helps it hide even better in nature, pouncing at just the right moment. This would be the perfect Disney villain pet.
