Unique.
Australian Reptile Park head of reptiles Daniel Rumsey said an albino lizard handed in was an "extremely rare" case who would have struggled in the wild.
"I have truly never seen a reptile like this my entire life," he said.
"Sometimes you will see some genetic mutations in reptiles but this one by far takes the cake."
The female's colourings diverge from the darker tones most of her species use to avoid interest from predators. Without a blue tongue, typically used to startle attackers, she would be largely defenceless.
Poachers would also be keen on the unique lizard.
Her final home is yet to be decided by officials, the park said.
