Condition
Overall in excellent condition. The snake appears not to have been used. The lighting element is functional and retains all its original parts. Together with original care and installation instructions. The crate with adhesive stickers and wear, surface dirt, damage to corners. The crate was used for shipment and therefore has suffered expected wear and markings. An excellent example with a low number from the series retaining all original components
