Saving your deceased snake's skin?

Kobylka already does some of this stuff.

This makes me nauseous, thinking about my baby dying... :( Darn, I know he'll live for a long time as long as I do my part and keep everything dandy and as long as no pop up diseases come!

I think justin only uses the sheds though.

Very different, everything done by Justin is done with shed skin from various snakes and not the actual skin of a dead snake.

Taxidermy on snakes is done all the time with rattlers. I have salted a 7 foot eastern diamondback skin and still have it 13 years later.
