Southern Pacific Rattlesnake and a Skull

A friend of mine went herping last week here in Southern California and he came back with what we believe to be a Southern Pacific Rattlesnake.

Anyway, here he is hiding in a human skull (fake skull of course):

if you are interested in getting a real human skull, hit me up.

As far as I know, you cannot sale native species, but they are not illegal to own.

As far as the real human skull, I am pretty sure thats highly illegal. Heh.

Brandon, he's from Kentucky. Who knows how many skulls he has in his yard? I mean, doesn't everyone in the south have a secret cemetery of hitch hikers and revenuers in their yard?

it's far from illegal. GA and TN have some restrictions, but the other 48 states are ok with it. like i said, i can get you one, but they aren't cheap.

Sounds like you're legal.

Later, Matt

definately a helleri!
