The bright blue snake has taken the internet by storm as it’s rare colour has surely fascinated Twitteratis and they can’t stop gushing about how ‘pretty’ the snake is. 

Even though the rare snake has evoked a sense of amazement among netizens, the blue pit viper is not as harmless as it looks. According to the Moscow Zoo, the snakes' venom is so deadly that it can cause severe bleeding, both internally and externally. The snakes are the blue variety of the white-lipped island pit viper, which is also a venomous pit viper subspecies found in Indonesia and East Timor.
