The natural banding and patterning of the wild-type Korean Rat Snake remain visible but softened into a warm, pastel appearance. The eyes are ruby red, a hallmark of albinism, contrasting beautifully against the golden-yellow body. The snake’s streamlined form and graceful movement are accentuated by its uniform, luminous coloration, making this morph a visually stunning and elegant example of selective breeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1271\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1100\" data-end=\"1117\"\u003eDistribution:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native to the Korean Peninsula, northeastern China, and parts of Russia, this species inhabits temperate forests, rocky hillsides, and open grasslands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1285\"\u003eHabitat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Korean Rat Snakes inhabit forest edges, grasslands, and rocky slopes across the Korean Peninsula and northeastern China.
