“…Animals exhibiting hypomelanism have their visual acuity significantly affected (Balkema and Dräger 1991), in a similar way to albinistic individuals as a direct result of the absence of melanin, a photo-protectant (Brenner and Hearing 2007). As with cases of albinism, survivability is reduced due to conspicuous coloration (Gezova et al 2018). A hypomelanistic Slow Worm (Anguis fragilis) was discovered in June 2020 during a private reptile translocation at a site in Sussex (Fig.…”

“…U některých nálezů však nelze zpětně stanovit, zda šlo o jedince albinotické či leucistické. Dva případy jsou známy z Rakouska(Erber 1879;Sochurek 1955), dva ze Švýcarska(Frösch 1985;Meier et al 2023), tři ze Slovenska(Balthasar 1935;Gezova et al 2018) a po jednom ze Srbska(Radovanović 1941), Itálie(Ferri & Bettiga 1992), Slovinska(Krofel 2004) a Bosny a Hercegoviny (Čurič 2019). Zde publikované dva nálezy tedy navyšují počet záznamu na třináct (viz Tab.…”

“…In Europe, there have been several cases of albino snakes of six different species: Aesculapian snake (Zamenis longissimus (Laurenti, 1768)), Balkan whip snake (Hierophis viridiflavus (Lacépède, 1789)), smooth snake (Coronella austriaca Linnaeus, 1758), common European adder (Vipera berus (Linnaeus, 1758)), nose-horn viper ( Vipera ammodytes (Linnaeus, 1758)) and aspic viper (Vipera aspis (Linnaeus, 1758)) (Ferri & Bettiga 1992, Happ 1994, Krofel 2004, Gezova et al 2018.…”

“…Since 1879, only nine albino Aesculapian snakes have been reported: three cases from Austria (Erber 1879, Sochurek 1955, Happ 1994, two from Slovakia (Balthasar 1935, Gezova et al 2018, and one each from Serbia (Radovanović 1941), Switzerland (Bruno & Maugeri 1990), Italy (Ferri & Bettiga 1992) and Slovenia (Krofel 2004).…”
