Here is an exotic little snake I picked up in California (a present for my husband):







Close up details: The back has some sort of beetle on it and designs flanked by little gecko-type lizards -- just stunning!


This is NOT painted!! It's an original Jon Stuart Anderson FIMO sculpture. All of the details are FIMO clay. Pretty amazing stuff, huh?
He does a lot of reptile and amphibian sculptures as well as other animals and subjects. I bought this beauty in Coronado at Art for Wildlife Gallery.
Here's the link if you're curious about some of his other work.

It's difficult to find really nice herp art in general, but this guy is one of the best I've seen.

What a great find, and you don't have to feed it. The artist is really talented, I am going to have to look into getting a piece of art for myself.

Awesome peice of work Andrea! Very cool!
As someone that has fiddled around with Fimo I can tell you that getting those lifelike images in the clay isn't easy!
