In a crazy, Frankenstein creation, a snake breeder in the United States accidentally bred a ball python with three smiley face emojis on its body. The smiley face emoji snake sold for $6,000!
While this may just have been a freak accident, Justin Kobylka locked in an impressive payday for his mistake. According to UPI, the snake breeder in the US has been breeding snakes for two decades. Although he’s spent eight years trying to perfect a different pattern on lavender albino ball pythons, he stumbled on gold out of pure luck.

Justin Kobylka the grinning ball python was sold for around $6,000, that’s sixty times more than the price of an average ball python.
