You've never seen a snake quite like this one.

Justin Kobylka spent eight years breeding pythons until he was finally able to create this mesmerizing, one-of-a-kind white ball python with three orange-faced smiley emoji on its skin. The emoji patterns are caused by recessive mutations.

Kobylka says the snake's worth at least $4,500, but he has no plans to sell it. To put that in perspective, you could head to PetSmart and buy a normal ball python for $40.

If nothing else, Kobylka's emoji snake matches well with emoji PJs.
