The Magna Hydrophiinae (commonly called a sea serpent) starts out no bigger than an inch long. They’re hatched in briny riverbeds with deep pools that allow them to hunt and grow before they make the journey to the ocean. The name sea serpent can be deceptive, as these aquatic creatures rarely inhabit seas, and tend to be found more commonly in the cooler waters of our northern oceans.
This variety is quite rare, owing to the fact that they tend to keep to themselves and are able to survive at incredible depths and in inhospitable temperatures. They are known to show fondness for hunting among icebergs. When this young, they are often misidentified as other species of fish and so have slipped through many a magizoologist’s fingers.
When studying the Magna Hydrophiinae, keep juveniles snuggly in smaller aquariums, as they will grow to fit their container, and quickly become unmanageable.
This sea serpent is looking for a magizoologist to care for it. Find adoption info here: The Listing
This is a handcrafted sculpture which has been formed with meticulous attention to detail before being painted with quality artist paints and sealed to help maintain paint colour and integrity. Its aquarium has been handcrafted and arranged, with a handwritten specimen label. Many hours have gone into crafting his features and tiny gills and fins to ensure he looks as lifelike as possible. As with any work of art, do not leave exposed in sunlight for long periods of time and do not get wet. The glass can be polished to maintain clarity.
This sea serpent is an artwork to be displayed in your library, personal collection of curiosities, amongst other rare finds, in jewelry cases, or wherever else you’d like to give him a home.
This is not a toy. As he is so tiny, he could break with rough handling or become a choking hazard.
