Identification help! :)

Hello all! Have a weird story for ya, and hopefully someone can help me solve a problem. I have a friend who is a fellow snake lover, and while doing an estate sale, found a large old snake hide.

Now personally, the idea of such a thing has always made me sad, as i don't like the idea of skinning such a beautiful creature, but that's neither here nor there.

The problem though is that there is a disconnect with the piece in that neither of us can find out what kind of snake it belonged to.

It's roughly 6 feet long, and covered in gorgeous markings. Anyone able to help me identify this beauty?

It is an African Rock Python (Python sebae).

Agree with FWK, and as an antique it's pretty cool i suppose.
