Cryptophis incredibilis, also known as the pink snake, is a species of venomous snake that is endemic to Australia.

The specific epithet incredibilis (“incredible”) is presumed to refer to its unusual colouration.

It is a slender snake which grows to an average of about 40 cm in length.

[2] The species’ distribution is limited to Prince of Wales Island, in Torres Strait, in the far north of Queensland, where it inhabits woodland on sandy soils.
