Title: Worthwhile work
Post by: dbb on August 21, 2013, 06:32:43 pm
I have a shady past as a hepetologist  ;D and i got some dead snakes from a buddy today.
So after a couple of hours of skinning and scraping i have this....now i only need to make some bows good enough for them  ::)

Both skins look great split down the middle and put on a bow. Nice score. But I'd tack them to a board to let em dry or they will curl up on you something fierce.

I just let them hang long enough to take a pic and stop dripping.
