No they dont,not what i hear anyway.
But some of the big ones, boas and phytons can act like rawhide and add some protection.

Not all snake skins are created equal...

I have a few Red Tail Boa skins that are as thick as Roo Rawhide.
And the Ball Python skin that found its way to PatB's place recently was pretty thick as well...

I have no data to back it up as of yet but I hope to test this very question in the near future... :)

But the bottom line is I Ain't No Boyer... so take my words with a grain of salt at this time...   O:)

Nope, and neither does rawhide or really thick skins.
