Snakeskin envy
« on: June 08, 2011, 07:12:26 pm »
I have been envious of all those pretty snakeskins many of you can buy or collect as roadkills as we only have one small (and protected) species where i live.
The thing is i used to have snakes for pets a long time ago and yesterday i cleaned out the fridge i found 3very pretty corpses in the far corner.
So now i at lest have skins for a couple of bows,too bad osage dont grow in sweden as it would match perfectly.The snake is called taiwan beauty snake (Elaphe taeniura friesi)And can be 8' long.

Those are nice.  I love the one with the stripe down it.  How long are they?

Its the same snake,i just folded the skin to show the patterns it basicly have 3 patterns,spotted,kinda banded and striped,this one was 7'
The lighter on the pic is just over 3" long for comparison.

Okay, I am pretty much a collector of snake skins for future bows and those give me a serious case of snakeskin envy! Nice stuff!

Well we do have snakes down here... But that is one unique looking skin you have there. That's one of a kind.

I can't imaging just having one snake around..
