Snake Discovered in Vienna Hotel Toilet: "Khloe" Moves to Reptile Zoo "World of Poisons"

“Khloe has shown us all that animal protection sometimes takes unusual paths – all the more wonderful that she has now found a permanent home," said Martin Aschauer, spokesperson for Tierschutz Austria, about the rescue of the non-venomous king snake.

Vienna Hotel Toilet Snake "Khloe" as an Example of Mimicry in Reptile Zoo "World of Venoms"

Khloe spent two years under the care of Tierschutz Austria. Now she is moving - to a reptile zoo that is actually dedicated exclusively to venomous animals. But the Salzburg reptile zoo "World of Venoms" is making an exception for Khloe. Although the king snake is harmless, she bears a striking resemblance to her dangerous lookalike, the coral snake. A prime example of mimicry in the animal kingdom.

“Khloe is already very popular,” reports a spokesperson for the zoo. “She helps us educate about natural deception and biodiversity – and shows that even the most curious stories can have a happy ending.”
