notes:

This snake ( Crotalus atrox, albino or amelanistic) is missing the pigment, the
melanine, which gives animals much of their coloration. This condition is somewhat of a rarity in rattlesnakes. Albinos born in the wild are at a great disadvantage as they are easily spotted by their natural enemies and are usually killed early in life.

I'm on a horoscope - a snake

My dear Friend, here you have your Chinese horoscope!!!

"The Snake Personality"

Depth and charisma make the Snake a formidable presence. You tend to spend a lot of time in your head, but you are not a worrier. Rather, you pass your quiet time in reflection and contemplation. This, together with your love of learning, is what gives you such great depth. Of all the signs of the Chinese zodiac, yours is most closely associated with wisdom. You probably have many interests and an insatiable thirst for knowledge, which result in an increasingly complex persona. In fact there is always more to learn about you. Just when people think they know you, they find out you have developed a totally new interest. Not only that they discover you have quickly grasped the subject

Although you are more than willing to share your knowledge, you have a penchant for secrecy when it comes to your personal life. This adds an aura of mystery to your already commanding presence. Like the Dragon, the Snake is a karmic sign, which means you are likely to experience lots of extreme highs and lows in your life.

More than any other sign, the Snake knows how to present itself in the most favorable light. You are rarely flamboyant or ostentatious. Rather, you are probably fully aware of your karmic status and don’t feel a need to impress anybody. But, when the spirit moves you, you will appear as the most dazzling personality on the scene.

Do you agree with all of this?? Is that you??
Well, Olga, I hope that you like this!
Please accept my warm regards
jose
