Here's a boa constrictor skeleton I made. This guy is just an infant. He came from a breeder and is one of those extreme color morphs. The ones that are as pretty as they are fraught with genetic issues. He’s got congenital bone density issues and has deformed ribs in various places, and died a few weeks after birth.

This type of skeleton is called a “Lace” or “Gossamer” skeleton. It’s more durable than a normal skeleton and when done correctly has a fantastic natural iridescence. 

This ball python was euthanized at a rescue following a facility wide outbreak of the deadly cryptosporidum parasite.

Mangrove snake (Boiga dendrophila) custom work for the owner. 

This guy was really badly decomposed and falling apart when he was given to me. Not my best work, but this is the best salvage job I could do.

This is 6 foot rat snake skeleton that was done as a custom piece for the owner. He was a rescue with lots of facial scarring from rats, (hence the name), with tons of arthritis and healed injuries from a long and interesting life.
