Anole Lizard Diaphonised Wet Specimen

Taxonomy is just naming things you love. Anolis carolinensis, the green anole, ghost of every terrarium kid's obsession, here rendered in translucent skin and stained skeleton, preserved mid-pose like something out of a Victorian naturalist's fever dream.

Enzyme baths dissolve the opacity of soft tissue, selective stains hit bone and cartilage in contrasting colours, and what you're left with is a specimen that looks like it belongs in a natural history museum's back room, the one they don't let the public into. Ethically sourced, wet-preserved, sized right for a desk, a shelf, or a proper dark aesthetic display. Each one varies slightly because that's what real specimens do.

Wet specimen, preservative solution. Specimens vary in colouration and exact pose. Images are representative.
