I’m trying very hard to think of something interesting and educational to say about this specimen, but my brain keeps repeating “It’s a snake head! It’s a snake head in a jar! How cool is that?!”

So there you have it. This is an Emerald Tree Boa (Corallus caninus) head, in a jar. The head itself is only a few inches long, but this species of snake can grow to around 2 meters (6 feet) in length.

I don’t know where the rest of the snake is.

Museums are incredible places.
