wtf, happened too the snake..did someone go crazy with the shovel and machete..must of put up a real good fight..lol..whack a snake...maybe ten times should do the trick....
@Reptidude100 Yeah its a rattler- Its a green hide off a massaga rattler( timber rattler) black morph.
I agree it does look like a rat snake but a rat snake is all black. when she holds it up you can see the rattle. This is a classic appearance of a hide that was hit by a car. Too bad it was a nice snake.
Yes, do watch the vid and you'll see the rattle. They are quite common in this area and they are not killed for fun. This one was killed by someone who had never seen one before and grabbed the nearest item available, in this case a shovel. If someone with more experience had been there it may well have been captured and released in a remote spot in the hills. What will not happen is having it loose in the yard, they are quite dangerous you know. Cheers
@tdkulta back on the farm ( Australia)at times we get ( poisonous) eastern brown"s & tiger snakes around the house yard..we've always killed them..average 2 or 3 per summer.. when i go back home, visit my fathers grave ...there is a grave opposite ..of a one year old girl...she was staying over with her grandparents,. when they put her to bed in the bassinet,that was on the veranda....minutes later heard her cry..she was bitten by a deadly brown snake ...it must of been amongst the bedding...
@Reptidude100 its got a rattle attached to it hoss. please watch the entire video before posting some inane comment that only gonna eventually make you look like a fool. Have wonderful day :-D
It actually came out rather nice, I have some shots of it on her wall. what you are looking at here is the inner side of the skin, not the pretty side.
that skin aint even worth tanning.. Either you didnt know what you were doing when skinning it or you used wayy to much force killing it. Rattlers are easy to kill jus wack them real hard in the head with a shovel and then one slice with the shovel to cut its head off
Hey! I don't get in this channel much, but I've noticed a bit of conversation going on, I like it! Especially Wild Bill... Thanks man, learning from ya... ;-)
lmao! That's a horrrendous hide (and yes I saw the post about the shovel.) When I was a kid, my dad and I used a mixture of rubbing alcohol and glycerin. It worked well, and I still have a few hides (20 years later), but found that the hides became somewhat stiff after time. We now use a product called, "SnakeTan." Works GREAT and they stay pliable years later. He orders it and the maker sold the copyright. Sorry for not much more info.
nice kill....i tried to kill mine nicely with out messing the body skin but my brother threw a huge rock to it and i ended up with two little holes .......
sew it up before u stretch it, then after it dries cut the threads out. iff u dont youll risk the holes opening further as it dries. hope this helps. -Bull
glycerin, oil will keep u from being able to glue it with adhesive properly. after you salt and dry it you will have a stiff skin, rub the glycerin inti the leather side and let it dry. it might take a couple tries to get it where u want it. just make sure you get all the salt off and peel any dried flesh or fatty tissue that u might have missed. once the glycerin dries you can trim with scissors and glue it down, iff on a belt or rifle sling remember to scuff up the leather for a good bond.
use wood glue if u want to mount it on a board- this will keep it from wrinkling in the future- or u can use the oil or glycerin to soften the hide for other crafts. if u mount it to a board- after its glued and the glue dries- clear it with a spray polyurethane or brush it on. this will keep all the scales and youll have a beautiful skin to look at indefinately. I hope this helps all who read- Thanks for this post it was fun to watch- dont worry about the negativity, idiots are everywhere.
that was the answer i was looking for all day thanks........i got my first mojave green rattler its in pretty good shape but i didnt know if i could coat the scales or not
wet salt a rub with more salt. this will remove the moisture. now fill the head cavity and base of the tail with salt. let it sit in the sun and dry on a warm day for the day. now take all the salt from the skin, try not to leave any- but break the dryed salt from the head and rattle butt- but repack over -repeat this until the areas are dry. after all this clean all the salt from everywhere(important) then u have a stiff hide- remove the nails and trim with scissors. u can now mount the hide

I love tanning snake hides- its so great to see a cute woman who isnt afraid of snakes. heres some tips for you next hide tanning that will give u a perfect result.- Ive done close to 60 snakes and learned this from various resources. a rattler is easy to kill- A quick wack on the head and they'll usually roll for a bit but theyre dead. u dont have to cut off the head unless u want to. either way use a sharp razor blade and go center of the belly all the way from the throat/front to the
I don't mind people who don't like killing things, I'll for saving the planet and all, and I don't like killing things... BUT... when the things are liable to kill me or a member of my family, or a friend', or even freekshow, the critter loses.
I don't mind people disagreeing with me, but have a discussion, don't just spew stupid shit... That's my rant for the day! ;-)
i hate snakes just killem and i hate tree hugers i think we should let all of them see how much wild animals lovem i bet bears would rilly love the hippys
Yeah that would be pretty cool I would like to see how it turned out. I can skin them out pretty quick but the pinning the to the board takes quite a while to do it right.If one nail is to tight on one side the other is makes the patterns all crooked and fucked up looking. I also deflesh them so the tanning solution will soak in that is also time consuming. But rattlesnake skins look so cool when they are finished.
She's using oil here, but then the snake sat in a commercial tanning solution for awhile. Now he's pinned to the wall upstairs, I'll get a shot of him sometime.

Oh, you finally have the nuts to reply? I hate you with a bloody fucking passion, I hope you get bitten by a rattle snake and die. I really fucking do. I'd honestly laugh.
"First off, leave your uneducated shit off my page. I am sick of stupid people, with whatever, leaving stupid irrelevant shit on my page, or in comment replies."
But it's ok for you to leave stupid shit on others pages?
When the snake is outside your bedroom door and you almost step on it...well...sometimes the snake dies. Usually it gets released upstream, but that's not always an option. They're quite tasty too.
So next time we have one, how about you come catch it??? Hmmm???
Oh, you finally have the nuts to reply? I hate you with a bloody fucking passion, I hope you get bitten by a rattle snake and die. I really fucking do. I'd honestly laugh.
This is stupid shit. You want to have a conversation? Fine. Drop the Holier than Thou crap and give people a reason to listen.
What did you use to tan the skin with? I have used both glycerin and anti freez and they both worked pretty well. Also how did the skin come out and what do you plan to do with it? I skinned a rattlesnake that I ran over the other day and Im tanning him with anti freez. He will probably be a hat band.
Actually the roomates got it with a shovel, they never encountered one before. The rattle is still attached, it's rather small, you can see it near the end of the video.
I would have used my .45 myself, but I wasn't home... ;-)
That snake skin is fucked up.Looks like you fucking shot it with a shotgun several times and then ran it over. At least you tryed to salvage what was left of it though.
