Touchy subject, snake remains.

I have been thinking about this a lot lately too. I have one that is not doing well. I am still hopeful, and administering meds. He is off, and on with his health. I guess I will cross that bridge when I come to it. I will probably frame it and place it in the snake room on the main wall. I hope it will be a long time from now.

I have zero problem with it, but I wouldn't do it. Too much of a hassle really.

I can see having a truly kick butt purse or wallet made. The ones in our collection have BEAUTIFUL colors and we haven't even gotten the beauties we want, so why not. I wouldn't do it myself, I'd have a professional do it. We (humans) wear leather which is cow hide and snake skin boots, belts, wallets..... But that being said, it would only be acceptable if the snake lived a long healthy, happy life and passed from old age.

So how does it work? Once the scales come off it is a leather like material? Does it keep its origional colors?

Houston, we have a problem.....

Don't make me eat your chihuaua with some red beans and rice.

I might as well confess. I have a python wallet that I bought on ebay and had sent from Thailand. I keep stuff in it that I need to keep but not carry all the time and I leave it at home. That should get some rocks thrown my way.

To actually turn one of my animals into a piece of clothing for profit... I think it is tacky. For me at least.

I would not care if someone else did it, but at the same time, who would be buying it?

A snake lover never would.

I would leave that to Kylie Minogue and the rest of the Hollywood heathens that run around with botoxed python bags hanging off their arms.

The scales would stay attached to the skin. The hide would be tanned from the inside. The color would reamain. Just hope your BP passes on right after a shed.

I think we've reach an new low here on the ole' BP.net

I have several pairs of snake skin shoes, but I didn't know those snakes from the man on the moon....Don't think I could walk around in Pinstripe kicks, knowing I raised and lived with the snake for 20 plus years.
