Ahaetulla prasina (Oriental Whip Snake) – A museum-quality snake skull specimen in A1 condition, expertly dry-preserved and unmounted, ideal for natural history collectors, herpetologists, educators, and artists.
Ahaetulla prasina is a slender, vibrantly coloured arboreal whip snake distributed widely across South and Southeast Asia, from India and southern China through the Malay Peninsula and the Indonesian archipelago. One of the most visually striking snakes in Asia — vivid green, extraordinarily elongated, and almost impossibly thin — it is a specialist predator of lizards and small birds in forest canopy and scrub. Among the most anatomically remarkable features of Ahaetulla is its extraordinary visual system: it possesses horizontal keyhole-shaped pupils and a rostral groove running along the snout that creates a binocular field of vision — an exceptionally rare adaptation among snakes, enabling precise depth perception for targeting fast-moving arboreal prey. The skull is a direct expression of this visual specialisation — featuring an elongated, narrow rostrum housing the binocular groove, a highly kinetic jaw apparatus, and rear-positioned grooved fangs characteristic of its opisthoglyphous venom delivery system — all clearly preserved in this specimen. A scientifically exceptional and visually distinctive addition to any serious collection or comparative anatomy study.
Perfect for herpetologists, naturalists, natural history collectors, educators, artists, and interior designers seeking authentic specimens with genuine scientific and aesthetic value.

Fantastic specimens. Perfect and very pleased, thankyou!
This was part of a double order, same as my other review. I’m new to pinning as a hobby in my spare time. From what I can tell they’re good specimens with plenty of variety. My only gripe is that they didn’t come with ID but that wouldn’t stop me from ordering again. Hopefully ID can be added to future purchases.
As someone who’s just started pinning, I don’t know a lot. From what I can see they are good specimens with a good variety. Would definitely order again. My only gripe is that they don’t come with ID.
