New snakes species found in Norfolk Va!!

My son stumbled across this snake and gave it to me to house until Virginia Game and Inland Fisheries can come by to check it out.  He seems to already have given it the scientific name of T. Duggel.  This is really weird because all these new snake species have been popping up in the news lately and have been right under our nose for so long.  Looks like evolution power shifted into sixth gear.  It's a white colubrid, scale-less and already looks morphed out.

Please keep this secret and just to the forum for now.  We have a few interviews lined up with the news and they have asked to keep it low until this is properly documented.  

Enough talk, here are the photos. Sorry for the low quality shots, professional photos soon!

Ill take a 1.1pair!!

They're native to Virginia and I have to get a permit first. Unless more are discovered, this may end here.

  

That's awesome!

Alright Nick now we expect a care sheet  

Care is very easy. Apply a couple pieces of tape and stick to the refrigerator.

Toss the SSM in there. He is on a roll this year.

I thought about it, but all it's going to produce is another white snake  

You will be rolling in the Monopoly money,

Whatever medication you're on, double it!

 

I know this hard for everyone to believe, but not everyone can discover a new species.  Your time will come one day.

 What is their temperament like? Do they bite?

...I have seen 1 or 2 T. Duggettes around here to tell you the truth-aaltough right as I was trying to sneak up on it a Sasquatch grabbed it, jumped on it's rainbow unicorn and flew off beyond the treeline. I do plan on getting some "Jack Link's" soon and setting it up near the tree stand!

Great temperament!!  It just sort of hangs there from the fridge and watches us. Haven't been bit yet, knock on wood, but I've seen this thing lay a hell of a paper cut.

See, I believed you up until the Jack Links part.  We all know Sasquatch eating Jack Links is a myth spread by commercial advertising.  How can Sasquatch afford $8 bags of jerky
