Do you keep your snake sheds?

I typically just trash them. We recently found someone that makes soap from snake sheds. They had all the ball python sheds they could need but didn't have many other species. I filled a gallon ziplock bag with corns sheds in under a 2 week period for them.

I kept them all for years ( hundreds of them all in an old pillowcase !) but stopped a while back

A teacher friend of mine asked me to save one for her students so I keep a good one on hand, usually my dumerils boa since he sheds really nice and it has a cool pattern on it.

i am having soap made with some of our sheds.
and i was at a show saturday and someone was actually trying to sell stinky ole sheds. weird.

Surprisingly there seems to be a market for snake sheds. People are selling them on Etsy for crafts and whatnot.

I kept Adelita's first shed (it was darn-near perfect), but probably won't be keeping any others. Maybe a really nice shed when she reaches near-terminal size. I have an idea in my head of getting her first shed and an adult shed framed together for a cool comparison, but I'm not quite sure it that could be done.

I have a complete 8.5' shed from my scrub python that I have hung up.

I keep the good ones. The bigger the better. The local schools get most of them.

I keep a lot of the good ones, and any large pieces from bad ones.

Gives me a good supply of material so that I can pass them around when doing a presentation with the snakes :)

Often I'll do a draw for one of the intact sheds at the end. The kids love that :gj:
