Description This...is a dream come true (along with another I am about to upload)

I have a thing for reptile skulls (seeing a pattern here?) and snakes are no exception. I've never seen one in person, but have seen plenty of photos from fellow collectors. And I have wanted one since I started collecting over a year ago. (Very expensive hobby but I enjoy it greatly)

This python skyll is just over 4 inches long. One thing I found incrediably fascinating is that on their top "jaw" pythons have not one row of teeth but TWO. Yes, paralelle with their longer outer teeth on the outer rim, inwards there is another row on each side. And they are just as sharp and hooked as the other set. One thing I have always found neat though, is the fact that they can move their jaws so strangely. The bottom sides can split in two, stretching on elastic muscles just as the top can to swallow prey much much larger then their head.
