This Hipster Snake Was Born With Sunglasses And A Mustache

Image
Aug 17, 2017 11:00 PM Snakes are cold-blooded creatures, but this snake is cooler than most. Take a look at these pictures to see what we mean. I know, we didn’t believe it either at first, but we promise you that this snake has not been Photoshopped. He really is sporting a pair of sunglasses and a dodgy mustache. That’s what it looks like anyway, although in truth the animal simply has very distinct markings. Pictures of the trend-setting serpent were recently shared on the Texas State Parks Twitter page after being snapped by Karlie Gray. The snake is apparently a Western rat snake, a non-venomous species of snake found in central North America, but while he might not be harmful to humans, he’s definitely killing the hipster look.

It is nothing to be ashamed of because as the Bible puts it: ‘Do not despise the days of humble beginnings’.
