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
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.

I used to dump them in the backyard with substrate to fill in holes and such. But then those 8-9 foot sheds really freaked out my yard man. I never told him about my snakes. So I started trashing them rather than risking loosing my yard guy.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.

At this point I only have 6. Three my my Female BP, 2 From my male BP and one from my Boa. With another arrival tomorrow, I may just keep the best one from each. They are all babies so it’s like my daughters pair of babie shoes hanging off the calandras nail.
Exactly what are they repurposed for? Not sure what “find a use for” means.

My first shed for Regina should be coming up soon(She had her first but I don't count it because she was at the pet store for a lot of that) So if it comes out in one piece I will try to unroll it and find a way to make a bookmark out of it, be pretty neat.

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.!

If it is in good shape, I'll keep it and throw an old one out.
I think they make nice decorations.
