Title: snake skin question
Post by: Badwithabow on July 24, 2010, 10:11:00 PM
Ok here's my deal i have a timber rat i just skinned... problem is my dad ran it over so i only have about 22 out of 48 inches that i can use... it starts out about 5 inches across(just the pattern) so could i cut it in half and use half on each limb? anyone did this?

split it down the middle on the mustard colored line...it works great.

That makes sense! It doubles the amount of material you can work with.

timber/canebrake rattlesnakes are the only ones that I have found which will work this way...and they work great.
