This is a Onestringer diamondback that I like a lot. They're so easy to put on and also very affordable.

I have a bunch of skins that I don't get many of at this time. Give me a call if you want some of these hard to get skins. As always I have the diamondbacks and prairie rattlers in stock as well.

David,What species is this skin?
That skin is a Canebreak or timber rattler I believe.
I prefer my skins bigger.
