I’m kicking myself for jumping the gun before taking a disassembled picture (the skull thus far has 11 separate pieces), but now I’m stuck halfway through this coachwhip skull! I had a little too much confidence in thinking I knew the assembly because I had done my rattlesnake skull before, but shockingly, venomous and non-venomous skulls are quite different! I at least thought to keep the parts I pulled out on the correct sides (save for the few pairs on the top that had fallen off before I touched it) but their relations are a little bit mysterious to me.Also unlike the rattlesnake, all the itty bitty teeth were not fused to the jaw, but I managed to save almost, if not all, to further torture myself. It will all be worth it if I can get the darned thing together! Rattlesnake is in the background watching over and being generally unhelpful~ -- source link
