Snake Dissection photos and illustrations
hi folks!
i work at a science education company - working directly with scientists - where i'm responsible for photographing...p much everything.
one of my recent projects was the dissection of an adult male Garter snake (the scientists even let me do the dissection!!!)! i was responsible for photographing all stages of dissection and i also made an accompanying illustration of the body and its parts.
if i were to get the "OK" would any of you guys be interested in the photos and info? i feel it would be such a good resource for others. i took a ton of photos with close ups and everything; it was really cool IMO.
if there's enough support for this ill push to release them here. it was honestly such an interesting part of my job and i really want to share it!
thanks guys!

that settles it! next week i will see what i can do with getting permission to release the photos and illustration here. they might have to be watermarked but that should be okay.
technically i could just upload them myself, buuuuut i think someone might get mad if i did that lol.
im kinda surprised at the amount of interest! when we were preparing for the dissection, my biologist asked if i wanted to do it; i enthusiastically said yes which seemed to confuse him. he was like "this isn't hard for you?" i was like heck no!!! the more i can know about my animals the better!

absolutely! my illustration has all organs labeled and is very easy to understand. [emoji3] it was based on this specimen.
the illustration was made as a freebie to pass out at a conference our team went to, so that one will likely be the easiest thing for me to share here!
EDIT: next week ill try to make time to label the photos i posted above for you all so you know what you're looking at!

Very cool thread! I am also interested in getting hi-res photos.
By the way, that snake doesn't look like any Thamnophis sirtalis that I ever saw. Looks more like one of the North American water snakes, genus Nerodia.

i don't doubt that. the specimen was ENORMOUS, and also very VERY fat; i had a hard time believing a garter could get so big.
