They look great Les, has anyone used the snake sheds rather than the actual skins of a dead snake? We have 4 pet snakes so obtaining the sheds won't be a problem, I am planning on giving them a try when I have more time on my hands after the Christmas rush, but wandering if anyone has any pointers so hopefully they'll be successful trials with not too many errors!

There is a guy on U beaut in Australia lives in West Australia keeps Snakes and uses shed skins. IMHO the best is leather from dead Snakes. In the US on the IAP there are several experts , the one that supplied Les with His Skins in fact, reference IAP Library.
