I see what you mean, but the inside of the mouth looks real. Someone sent it to me in connection with the Chinese Year of the Snake.

Come on guys, you are not up with your internet 'memes' (which is probably several points in your favour in my opinion lol!)
My money is that it is the same species as 'Happy Snake' which seems to appear all over the internet  In which case, it is a leucistic texas rat snake (Well it looks like one to me) check out link below Shame it isn't rubber, I'd love a few of them to put under consultants ACOs...

Are these plastic etc or computer generated? The detail is pretty incredible if sculpted/cast

eeer no they are real animals! Here is a link to the actual picture posted by Richard Identifying the animal as a Leucistic specimen of Elaphe obsoleta Lindheimeri - Or Texas Rat Snake to me Here is a more normal looking specimen - the posture is the standard defense posture for the species, the surreal look of the ones above is selective breeding   Edited by GemmaJF - 11 Feb 2013 at 11:02am |

And while I'm here, here is one of Will's snake cake
 Which might appear to be a Amelanistic Burmese Python at first glance, but is actually, well, a cake. Edited by GemmaJF - 11 Feb 2013 at 11:17am |

Oh i get you. I thought the whole thing was a wind up. Is that really a cake snake or a real snake, i'm confused now? It'll be the year of the rat if the Aesculapian Annihilation Committee has its way.
