Hi folks,

Where did the skull come from? Are you sure it's from a burmese and not a reticulated or something similar?

Hi,

well, I found it at the ZFMK, Bonn Germany and it was labeled "P.molurus", so I think I could believe in this

Cheers,
Wulf

For all of us who had to Google that, ZFMK stands for Zoologisches Forschungsinstitut und Museum Alexander Koenig ( or, Zoological Research Institute and Alexander Koenig Museum), an important natural history museum in Germany.

Hey Wulf –

Very cool. Did you prepare the skeletons yourself? Looks like a kitchen dish towel in the background of one of the photos. I’m picturing a big pot of boiling water on your kitchen stove containing hundreds of little short ribs. Mmm Mmmm good! Or were dermestid beetles used to clean the carcass? Anyway, thanks for sharing.
