The skin is split lenghtwise,this is from the bellyscales up to the "ladderpattern" on the back.
Hoping to get two more bows out of this skin.

Thats a nice piece a work there! I hope you don't have any trouble with the handle wanting to pop off. Otherwise beautiful tiller!!
-
pretty skins.

That's stunning! I always forget that you guys in the States call Common Boas or Boa Constrictor Imperator "redtails" whereas in the UK a "redtail" has to be a Suriname/Guyanan red-tailed boa, or Boa Constrictor Constrictor
I've never seen anybody back a bow with a BCC Red Tail yet but it would look amazing. Maybe when one of my breeder females dies I'll use that.
Sorry, snake geek alert. Nice bow!

Im an old herpetologist myself (snake geek in finer words ;D )I just call it what all other here name it,if i spout latin and subspecies almost no one would understand me.
But i agree that pure redtail is a B.c.c ,that said in sweden (where im from) many B.c are hybrids due to bad breeding sadly.

(Apologies for off topic chat!)
It's not much different here in the UK. Lots of people are breeding BCC with BCI because just having "BCC" in the name is enough to sell for a lot more, but they still look like muddy BCI.
Anyway. Great bow!
