Bad year for snakes
Here's a couple pics of one from Lyons a few months ago. Somebody killed this one, 10 ft. from the front door of the Lyons Senior center. That's all we need is for one of our seniors to get bit.
Anyway, when I heard about it, I ran down there to claim the remains.
I skinned him out, tanned the skin by cleaning it of any meat or membrane, and then soaking it for a couple days in a solution of glycerin and rubbing alcohol. Then tacked it out of a board to dry, then mounted to a board with some 3m spray adhesive. Not quite finished with it, I was planning on making a frame around it in a darker wood, and then maybe covered with a piece of glass.
p.s. without the head he came out to around 24"
