caption competition for the closest guess on the amount of ribs wins haha (btw I haven't bothered counting yet)

Don`t think I`d want to count the ribs either, way too many:
1, 2, 3, lots...

I know what you mean - I definitely prefer snakes alive, but at the same time I think their skeletons are soo beautiful and fascinating. There's just something mesmerizing about them.

Ok, that probably sounds silly. What I meant was near the end of the skeleton, what looks like ribs attached to the spinal column tapers from large to, small, to very small to just a spinal column.

I feel the same way, but they really are equally beautiful in this condition. Good job on the photo, too.

Yes, snake skeletons are beautiful because humans normally find symmetry beautiful, and what's more symmetrical than all those rib pairs?

That`s a good point - I do love symmetry
