A dead female Indian rock python ( Python molurus molurus ) with a length of 406 cm was brought for post mortem examination to the university hospital.

The first 2 cervical and last 14 caudal vertebrae had no ribs. The mandible was a paired bone as there was complete absence of mandibular symphysis. The outer and inner parts of each mandible had 18 backwardly directed and 5 pointed teeth. The ring shaped atlas was delicate. Ball and socket like articulations between corresponding bodies of adjacent vertebrae were seen. The sternum was absent.
