Caught a 2 foot milk snake     in my basement (now the wife       will NEVER do laundry again LOL) it's width about middle finger around. great colors how much bigger would it have to be for recouve bow limbs?      http://www.paherps.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/milksnake-bobf.jpg

How long are the limbs? Lay it up dry on the limb and see how well it covers.

Make a cool hat band out of it.

Use it as a wrap on a few arrows.  Snake skin arrows are fun to make.

It's a red rat snake (corn). I aint no tree hugger but he'll do ya more good alive than dead.

I know its illegal to kill non-poisonous snakes here in Georgia so you might check your state laws first before you get too far along.
