    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have for sale, an installation sculpture of a python that took five people over seventy hours to put together for a project that was (and still is) on display in the Utah State University's College of Fine Arts Building. This massive thing is made out of paper mache (white coffee filter, NOT newspaper) and colored tissue paper over fencing-wire, chicken wire and foam as the structural skeleton, and has imperfections and character. It was created for a specific space, but it could be set up likely in a similar situation, or just made to work somehow. It's hard to know exact measurements as we didn't really take any... But I'll give an estimate. The foam pieces that formed the backbone were about six feet long each, so the sizes listed below are based off how many foam pieces were used. The entire sculpture is hanging from fishing line and will need to be re-done once pulled down from this location. If you want more exact measurements, feel free to let me know and I'll do my best to get them. I posted an iHerp blog about this project a while back and you can find more information there including inspiration: http://www.iherp.com/Public/Blog/Detail.aspx?uid=107565

The head is about two feet, and the first section is about 12 feet long (without head). The middle section is the longest and measures about 24 feet long. The two end sections are about 6 feet long, and tail is around three feet long. It's not extremely heavy, just long and awkward.

Due to the size and awkward shape, I cannot ship. I'd prefer a local pickup, but if you want to bring a big trailer and haul it yourself, then that works for me.

Asking $800 OBO. Just please remember that a good amount of money went into the supplies, and a crapload of time and effort.
