White Cobra

White snakes can suffer from one of two different genetic disorders - they can be albino or leucistic. With leucistic animals, they lose all pigmentation but it can be spotty, with areas of completely normal color and, if the leucistic patch falls over the eye, it is generally blue. With albinism, there is a complete loss of melanin and the eyes are often red or pink from the blood vessels showing through. Either of these disorders can cause extreme problems for a wild reptile and they do not often live to adulthood. They cannot camouflage to protect themselves or to hunt and they cannot effectively regulate their body temperatures using the sun since they so easily sunburn.
