I got three copper heads today while helping my fatherinlaw clean up around his place. While moving the tin we accidentaly crushed and injured two and we put them out of their misery and we also took the third because we were going to be working in the area all day and didnt want to chance it. The pick of the carpet knife razore was a great little gut hook and i'd recommend using it on any size snake, it made skinning really quick and easy.

Very Cool, Being as I have never done one, is drying the snake skin as easy as it looks? just skin the buggers and staple them out on a piece of wood as in your pictures?

That's the way I do it I also rub in a bit of mink oil once they are on the board to keep them from drying out to the point of cracking

As much as I'd like to have skins for bows and other things. I'm so glad I don't have to worry about poisonous snakes or spiders when outside.
