From article:

"I put the reddish-brown snake in a dark bucket," said Mark Auliya, a reptile expert and a consultant for the group. "When I retrieved it a few minutes later, it was almost entirely white."

Okay, it can change color but not too smart. :dance:

No time soon...they likely have a very small population, and they are venomous, which lowers their desireability in the commercial pet trade.
