Snake ID help

<< < (2/4) > >>

JW_Halverson:
Yup.  Them's snake skins, definitly snake.  I'll go on record with that, snake, sure enough.

Pale as they are, you could paint the back of the bow a bright color and it would show thru nicely.  Have seen that done on a few bows lately and I kinda like the effect.

Postman:
Speckled rattler, C. mitchellii ? possibly?  ??? Can't think of any other rattlers with a pattern close to that. I would be suprised if it was an american rattler, but also defer to NTD - He's a pro at this stuff.
Very cool, though!

NTD:
Well guys, sorry to disappoint but I can't nail this one with certainty, but I'm 90% sure it's a Northern Blacktail Rattlesnake.

Timo:
I looked at a lot of snake pics and have never seen any like this. Could it be they are bleached? maybe some kind of hybrid?

Also are they tanned or just dried?

Bevan R.:
I had thought of the bleached idea but the guy is a seller, no knowledge about the product at all. He also has several and they all look the same. Going to jump and get a set and see for myself. I will post a better (I hope) pic when I get them.
