Snake Skin
Anyone have any advice for tanning a snake?? Any ideas on what to do with it when I'm done tannins?

I looking here and tell em not salt. too late, but why not telling the salt?

I stretch and tack board, sprinkle with salt and allow to dry in the sun. I have seen others rub with antifreeze and let dry. Do not let your cats near the skins antifreeze. It will kill them. I like to make hat bands. Edit: From a guide Tanning: "The salt and alum tanning is the least expensive and probably the most common of the three." Salt kills bacteria and has been used for thousands of years as a preservative, but maybe not really necessary for tanning the skin of a snake. Native Americans dry just dry skin, then after rubbing various concoctions in them as brains boiled and dried again, then worked on some leather to soften it. Hair was removed by rubbing with a stick. A friend told me that she hides so by soaking in brine, rinsing, drying, rubbing glistern, dried, then rubbing lotion until soft. Are hidden all over your house. I've heard alum is good too.

Different Types Of Animal Skin Are Used In Designer Bags Like Chanel Handbags And Mulberry Handbags

Cowhide isn’t the only thing that is used in designer bags. Some bags, like Chanel handbags, use skin from other animals, too. Skin from such animals as crocodiles, eels and even ostriches are often used to make unique designer bags. Even Mulberry handbags use crocodile skin and ostrich skin in their lines. Read on to find out more about the other materials used in designer bags.

Alligator or crocodile skin. Chanel handbags use alligator skin in a lot of their designs. Alligator and crocodile skin are very rare because there are only a few tanneries licensed to export and import these skins. So, bags made from either crocodiles or alligators are very expensive. One of the most coveted Chanel handbags made out of alligator skin is the Diamond Forever Tote, costing $260,150.

Ostrich skin. This is another costly material used for bags such as Mulberry handbags. Ostrich skin is durable and very soft, making it a favorite of designers. Its suppleness makes ostrich leather easily form to any design. Also, its polka dot and quill-like patterns make it very stylish. There is only a limited production of ostrich leather worldwide, making this kind of material very costly.

Stingray skin. Stingray skin is very hard to work with since it is covered with thousands of tiny plates. It was used for armors centuries ago. It is now used as material for designer handbags. Bottega Veneta used this material for the Nero Mineral Galuchat Knot clutch. Supermodel Kate Moss also made the stingray bag popular when she was seen with an Yves Saint Laurent Le Sixieme stingray bag.

Snake skin. Although many people fear snakes, snakeskin is a popular material for bags. It has been used in bags such as Chanel handbags and Mulberry handbags. Because of the different kinds of snakes, snakeskin can have various patterns and textures. Its leather is very soft and supple and is mostly used for intricate designs.

Lizard skin. Lizard skin is scaly and very pliable. Like snakes, there are many different types of lizards. Many different styles can be made out of lizard skin. Some Chanel handbags and Mulberry handbags like the Chanel 2.55 and the Mulberry Maggie bag are made from lizard skin.

Eel skin. Eel skin is another rare type of skin. It is silky smooth. Lizard skin glides under your fingers when you touch it.  Eel skin is also very fragile. But this hasn’t stopped designers from using it. Eel skin creates striped surfaces, such as in the Dolce & Gabbana eel skin satchel.

Kangaroo skin. Kangaroos are abundant in Australia and these animals’ skins are very durable and flexible. They can even resist abrasion and wear very well. These are the main reasons why kangaroo skin has mostly used in bullwhips. A lot of bag lovers don’t like the Marc Jacobs kangaroo skin Rana evening pouch. They say they hate the gold frog at the front of the bag. But many love it because of that modern element.

There are other materials used for Chanel handbags, Mulberry handbags and other designer bags besides cowhide and lambskin. Exotic skin such as materials from ostrich, alligators and even eel make elegant designer bags.
