This reproduction represents the Javan Xenoderm, a reptile of the Xenodermidae family. The plate includes an overview of the snake, as well as detailed views of its head from above and below, and a close-up of its characteristic scales. Today known as the Dragon Snake due to its atypical appearance, it is the sole representative of the genus Xenodermus, and its scientific name is Xenodermus javanicus.
Taken from the herpetology work "Erpétologie générale ou Histoire naturelle complète des reptiles", published between 1834 and 1840 by André-Marie-Constant Duméril, this illustration testifies to the scientific and artistic precision of the era. It is part of a vast documentation on reptiles, reflecting the knowledge of natural history in the early 19th century.
This plate is ideal for reptile enthusiasts, zoology students, or those who appreciate antique scientific illustrations. It can enrich a space dedicated to nature or the history of science, offering a window into the world of ophidians.
