Broad banded water snake skins
« on: December 01, 2015, 11:53:03 pm »
Have any of you seen a bow with broad banded water snake skins on it like this one? I have skinned over 1,000 snakes, and I have only skinned four of these.

Those would look great on the back of a bow!

Never seen one on a bow, but I have caught many of those (then let em go).  Can't keep the skins here in MO. 
 Pretty snakes but sometimes have a bad attitude!

  I wonder if that is the same water snake I see in Mississippi, when you are in the swamps they fall out of the trees when you approach. I never get a very good look at them.

Not a stupid question, you are correct. Real skins, dead snake. Skin sheds don't retain the color and are far too fragile to be any good whatsoever. Besides the snakes never mind after they're dead.  >:D
