    Displaying Snake Shed
    This may be a strange question, but I was wondering if there was a way to display snake shed. I have a couple complete sheds and want to display them on my wall, right now I have them tacked up, but they look kind of droopy, is there a way I could put it on a long piece of paper or something and then spray the shed with something to make it flatten out and look nice. Thanks

    I'm looking for ideas too...I have an absolutely gorgeous perfect shed that I can't bear to throw away but can't figure out how to use.

    i always go to Walmart, get laminating paper, pt a few sheets down together, put my skin on top of it, laminate it, and put it on a wall or something.
    You can also use clear tape

    hope this helps

    I know they tend to get very brittle once they start to dry out. I would think the clear contact paper (shelf paper) would be a good thing to try, but probably kinda hard. I guess the best way would be buy a piece of glass (if its not too long of a shed) and make a frame for it and sandwich the shed in it, but probably a little pricy unless you just really like the idea.

    I have an idea. Get a 12x12 frame thats 1 1/2 inches deep or however thick the snake is, and pin down the tail of the snake in the center and slowly coil around itself. Might look sorta cool. Since it's in a frame no hands could touch it, and dust would never touch it.

    It would look cool, it would save space and it would protect it from being messed with.

    I'm thinking some kind of mothballs would need to be included to protect against dust mites, as with insect collections. I like the coiling idea...will have to try it with one that's still flexible.
    This one I've got, I can blow int he mouth and the whole thing inflates like a cond...erm, balloon. It's absolutely flawless. I wish there was a 3D way to show it off.
