We have been offered a large quantity of reptile skins (mostly python) along with associated reptile skin products (bags, shoes, etc). These were amassed during a project which was developing a system for automated species recognition to be used by Customs Officers. All of the items were given to the researchers by Customs and Excise (primarily Heathrow) who had siezed them at point of entry.
There is far too much material for us to hold, so we are asking if there are other museums who would like to have tanned skins and reptile skin products for educational or scientific use. If we cannot find homes for these items, they will be destroyed.
