Puts them big rattlers to shame
NTD:
Pappy, It seems that the constrictors (boas and pythons) are simple to skin right up to the 5 ft mark or so, after that the connective tissue really doesn't want to leave the skin. I'm not only not afraid of snakes I'm crazy about em, but I think a 16 ft carcass would be a lil spooky too.
Justin, Yep I imagine this skin would make okay rawhide. It's not that thick but I'm sure thick enough for protecting a moderately violated back. Timo gave me a good idea though if ya don't want the extra weight, said they thin out nicely on a belt sander.
Kegan, If you like these skins maybe we can do a trade sometime. I just finished up (tru-oil is drying) an elm stave that apparently originated from you. I'm definitely going to want to get more of that stuff!!
A buddy of mine has a really old pair of albino burmese python breeders. I'm not looking forward to them dying, or the job in skinning them but they sure will make pretty skins. What the heck to do with a 12ft and a 16-17ft carcass...the coyotes and vultures are having a hard enough time keeping up with me as it is... ;D
Lemos:
I skined one of those once it was only 7 foot though and the skin sticks to the muscle like crazy. It was nice and thick though ,almost like rawhide
JW_Halverson:
Just how is it that you get all these exotic snakes?
NTD:
