Black mamba is it mate...
yeah it has a pretty nice bite, that one is a female, males have much large xygomatic arches and saggital crests, I.E bigger muscles and a stronger bite.
Josh has it. It is a Black mamba. A most beautiful snake with an intelligence I've never seen in any other reptile except the King cobra.
Well done to those folks that got the Elapid family of cobras, kraits etc. Difficult one that.

It had escaped someones collection, they didn't have a current DWA though. All too common unortunately and not themselves they are putting in danger. It was a juvenile about 2ft long and wicked fast. Found it behind a fridge-freezer.
getting close buddy, needs to be more specific though
I'm going on a whim here and certainly can't tell one cat from from the other by looking at the skull.
If it has anything to do with your username, Siberian Tiger?
yup, its a museum replica from a 500lbs male siberian tiger, raised in capitivity.
way off mate, ill give you a glue, it has a relative that burrows under ground.
Judging by the teeth and overall shape it's some sort of mustelid, quite close to a ferret skull but looks bigger, as are the canines. So a big ferret shaped thing - mink/polecat/pine marten perhaps?
'Fraid not scorps..... Adams on to something though, just need to whittle the list down some.
