[TexasTowelie]

One Texas landowner spotted something many don't see slithering in the Lone Star State often, an albino western diamondback rattlesnake.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department posted about the landowner's discovery on its Hill County Wildlife Facebook page on Monday, August 30. The post stated the owner found the snake on a private ranch in Mason County, about 118 miles west of Austin.

"Here is something you do not see every day," officials wrote in the post. "Pretty cool critter!"

TPWD stated the snake was about 8 to 10 inches long. It was released back into the wild where it was found after the landowner contacted a TPWD biologist.
