I don't believe it was a skeleton. The little protrusions definitely appeared to be legs. The body was pretty much intact (it wasn't the inside of an animal, it was the outside - skin, legs). So good thought but I don't think it was a snake skeleton. Would love to know what it is.

Looks to be the skeleton of a snake, and if so then should be in the reptiles category, not arthropods.
