Hello Reaserchgate !
I'm a student in Heritage and I'm curently doing my traineeship in the science faculty of Toulouse where I inventory a lot of taxidermy.
I encounter difficulties to identify some of the animals and require your help.
I have one snake here, and two skins.
The snake is aglyphe, but I have no idea what it can be. it's 74cm long, 37cm large and 37cm high.
I don't know if anyone will be able to tell me about the skins, but let's give it a try !
The skin number 2 is 179cm long and 23,5cm large
number 3 is 320cm long and 28cm large
Thanks again !
I agree that #3 is likely reticulated python. Not sure on other two, but think they are python (possibly also reticulated?).
Me parece:
1 Boa constrictor
2 Python cf sebae
3 Python cf sebae
Saludos
Based on the information available on your photos, I agree with Santiago's identifications. You should now check with some snake books if the scalation characters agree with these two species.
Definately 1st is constrictor and third is P. sebae.
The second one is that it real id will be quite interesting to me too.
I have foto Python reticulatus but diferent with your... Maybe its Python molurus...
Number one is Boa constrictor, 2 & 3 are Python sebae, although it's also possible they might be Python natalensis but without knowing the location of the specimens and without seeing the head it might not be possible to positively identify them.
