Queensnake Moulage [better]
Queensnake moulage encompasses both the natural ecdysis process of Regina septemvittata—characterized by a distinct "blue" phase and full-body shedding—and the artistic replication of this process for educational training. These simulations, utilized by herpetologists and special effects artists, accurately mimic the snake's unique ventral patterns and keeled scales.

- Identify fang marks vs. other lesions
- Apply compression bandage and splint
- Reassess swelling progression (moulage updated during scenario – swelling extended)
8. Regeneration Feature (if fantasy setting)
- Half-healed scales moulage (raised edges, lighter color).
- Scar tissue simulation (silicone + capillary stipple).
