Snake Skeleton (Product Code: SLE/EZ/07) is a natural-bone snake skeleton used to show how a limbless vertebrate is built in school zoology classrooms and college practicals. Mounted in a natural position on a base with an acrylic cover, it sits in a 300 x 98 x 30 mm case that displays the long chain of vertebrae and paired ribs. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for biology labs that want real vertebrate specimens.

A snake's body is built almost entirely from one repeated unit: a vertebra with a pair of ribs. Seeing that pattern on a real specimen helps students understand how snakes move by bending the body in waves, and why they need no limbs to travel, climb or swim. The skull is worth a close look too, because the loosely joined jaw bones explain how a snake can swallow prey wider than its own head.
In evolution and classification lessons the snake skeleton is often set beside a lizard skeleton, so learners can discuss limb loss within the reptiles. It is a useful addition to school biology lab equipment in India for Class 9 to 12 and undergraduate zoology. Ask students to sketch a short section of the spine through the cover, using a hand lens to pick out where each rib meets its vertebra.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, Haryana. The company supplies this snake skeleton to schools, colleges, museums of teaching specimens and resellers, and can combine it with other skeletons and field equipment on one quotation for buyers in India and international markets.

Is the Snake Skeleton a real specimen?
Yes. The Snake Skeleton (SLE/EZ/07) is made of natural bone, mounted in a natural position on a base. Because it is a real animal, the exact length, curve and bone detail can vary slightly from one specimen to the next.
What are the case dimensions of the Snake Skeleton?
The Snake Skeleton comes in a case measuring 300 x 98 x 30 mm, with the bones on a base under an acrylic cover. The slim case fits easily on a lab bench or in a specimen cupboard.
Does the Snake Skeleton come with a label or key card?
The listing for the Snake Skeleton does not mention a key card or bone labels. If you need labelling for teaching, please ask through our contact page and we will confirm what is included before you order.
Can students count vertebrae on the Snake Skeleton?
Yes, students can count vertebrae and ribs on the Snake Skeleton through its acrylic cover, ideally over a short marked section with a hand lens. Handling the bones directly is not recommended, as the cover protects the delicate ribs.
How do I care for the Snake Skeleton?
Keep the Snake Skeleton in a dry place out of direct sunlight, and wipe the acrylic cover with a soft, dry cloth only. Do not use solvent-based cleaners on the cover, and avoid stacking heavy items on the case.
Can the Snake Skeleton be ordered with other vertebrate skeletons?
Yes. The Snake Skeleton can be quoted together with the lizard, frog, pigeon and bat skeletons in the same range, which suits a vertebrate-classes display. Tell us the quantity of each when you request a quotation.
