AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Osteological taxidermy specimen: complete skeleton of a ball python (Python regius), carefully reconstructed and mounted in a dynamic attack position, housed in a glass case with a wooden base and frame. The ball python, native to the savannas and forests of West and Central Africa, is a constrictor snake belonging to the Pythonidae family. It is known for its generally docile temperament and its ability to wrap itself around its prey until it suffocates. The specimen presented here displays with great anatomical precision the over 200 vertebrae and the thin ribs that, articulated in sequence, give the snake's body flexibility and extraordinary strength. The skull, with open jaws, highlights the typical structure of snakes, capable of disarticulated to swallow prey much larger than its body diameter. The mounting was executed with extreme scientific and artistic care, enhancing the natural posture of defense and attack, which gives the composition a strong visual impact. The glass case serves both as protection and display frame, making the work perfect for natural history museums, private collections, and cabinets of curiosities. A precious anatomical testimony that allows for a close-up observation of the complexity of reptile bone structure. A work that combines scientific, aesthetic, and educational value, capable of inspiring wonder and admiration in any exhibition context.
Case dimensions: 440 x 290 x 220 mm
Snake size: 330 x 185 x 180 mm
Weight: 2300 g
