Re: What do you do with your snake sheds?
I don't do any of those, exactly. I've been saving the shed skins to send to Eden Bio-Creations. They turn shed skins into alternatives for real reptile skins, and use them for phone covers, belts, etc, to help conserve reptiles. Unfortunately, the market is still large for real skins, so poachers are still prevalent. Hopefully, more people will learn about them.
So far I have about seven full skins (technically, eight; we found a wild snake's shed skin in our hay) sitting in a box.

Store them under the snakes tank, in the cupboard

:rofl::rofl::rofl: If you live in the desert as I used to (w/ no close neighbors to freak out), if you just leave them in your yard they're get eaten by coyotes or taken
for nesting material by local birds or pack-rats.

Haha, that's what I did as a kid.
Re: What do you do with your snake sheds?
Well, since mine came with a little gift of mousy poop, I put it in the composte... where, for me too, the foxes and coyotes get it.!
