There's been so much interest in all things serpent on Find/Buy, seems like it's time to show off our slithery treasures. Real, realistic, cartoony, plush, whatever, let's see those snakes. Any information you can provide on where yours were purchased, pros/cons in haunts, etc. will be appreciated.
Picture below is my vintage cobra taxidermy monocled cobra mount. These are readily available on evilBay at wildly differing price points, so if you're in the market and watching the price climb, be patient. There will be more. They are fragile and can't get wet, but it's tough to beat the realism.
If you are in the United States, PLEASE remember that you must have a $100 annual import license and wade through a staggering amount of paperwork in order to legally bring any wildlife parts into the country. Otherwise, that knock on the door after your overseas package arrives may be a member of USFW to fine or arrest you.
There are also many amazing resin death casts of real snakes, some pre-painted and some available as blanks with painting instructions, should you prefer to go the artificial route. Morgan Reptile Replicas is the best known of these, but sometimes blank casts are available from individual taxidermists who have poured spares from molds they've made themselves.
