Titanaboa Giant Snake – Climb & Play Sculpture

This Titanoboa giant prehistoric snake sculpture is a magnificent piece of sculptural art that pays homage to this extraordinary creature that lived approximately 58 to 60 million years ago, during the Paleocene epoch.

It is considered one of the largest snakes to have ever existed. Imagine seeing one of these giants on your daily hunts. Eeek! Luckily, humans weren’t around at the time of the Titanaboa.

We have captured the essence of this magnificent reptile in the form of a full 3D sculpture that serves as a captivating climbing and play structure.

• The sculpture has been manufactured from sturdy fibreglass (GFRC option available for commercial use)
• Length is 500cm x Width 30cm x Height 100cm – weight depends on the final finished sculpture requirements.
• The elongated Titanoboa body is decorated with realistic scales proportionate to the sculpture’s size
• The aesthetically beautiful geometric scales provide a sturdy covering, which provides a textured surface for children to climb along its scaly body and onto the top of its head
• The coiled tail at the base provides a weighty anchor to allow many children to climb aboard at the same time allowing for children to share and tell stories of the likely apex predator
• The final finished painted version will vary due to the nature of the hand-made approach

Evidence of its size

The discovery of Titanoboa fossils in the early 2000s provided valuable insights into the ancient snake’s existence. Paleontologists uncovered vertebrae and other skeletal remains, allowing them to estimate their size and reconstruct their anatomy. The discovery of such a massive snake challenged previous assumptions about the maximum size attainable by these reptiles. Its massive size and constricting ability would have allowed it to overpower and suffocate its prey.

While we can make reasonable assumptions about its appearance and lifestyle, there may still be aspects that remain uncertain or subject to ongoing study and exploration, This is Naturework’s version of a giant serpent of impressive proportions that evokes a sense of awe and evolutionary wonder of the natural world.

Benefits of Hand-Crafted Sculptures

• Detail: Hand-crafted sculptures like this exhibit exceptional attention to detail. The artist can focus on capturing the realistic features of the Titanoboa, ensuring that the scales, facial expressions, and overall anatomy are accurately represented
• Unique Character: A hand-made sculpture possesses its own unique character and charm. The artist’s personal touch and creative interpretation shine through, imbuing the sculpture with a sense of artistry and individuality that cannot be replicated by mass-produced pieces
• Artistic Collaboration: Commissioning a hand-made sculpture allows for a collaborative experience between the artist and the client. The client can provide input, share ideas, and work closely with the artist to create a sculpture that fulfils their vision and meets their specific requirements
• Support for Artisans: Opting for a hand-made sculpture supports local artisans and craftsmen. By investing in their skills and creativity, you contribute to the preservation of traditional artistic techniques and help sustain the livelihoods of skilled individuals in the community. The process of hand-making a sculpture involves passion, dedication, and a personal connection between the artist and their creation. This emotional investment can be sensed and appreciated by viewers, fostering a deeper and more meaningful connection to the artwork.
