I usually tan rattler skins. People don't believe we have rattlers in Ga. but they're wrong.
If you ever decide you want to tan one I can tell you how.

Got to hand it to you for moving that snake. I probably would have detoured around him. Non-poisonous snakes, I don't worry, poisonous, I don't bother.
I'm holding a picture of an 86 lb, 8' 7", rattlesnake with ten rattles, taken about 25 miles from where I live. And someone captured one a few miles from the farm last year. In all my poking around in the woods, I haven't come across one, and hope I never do. But we do have them in most parts of the state.
Some of you might remember the black racer I posted pics of, he was living in the lawnmower shed. So I was loading out some junk and tossing it onto my truck. I grabbed an electrical panel and set it on the tailgate and out pops Mr. Black Racer, about a foot from my belt buckle. After I got back into my skin, I look and see his tail disappearing into the truck bumper. I don't know if he rode to town with me or not. It was getting dark and I was too chicken to keep digging in the other sheds.
I think it's an old wives tale that black snakes and copperheads won't stay together in the same place, because I've seen them co-habitating. Darn those old wives.
I know this guy, he's missing two fingers. I asked him what happened to his fingers. He said he was bitten by a copperhead, tied the fingers tightly with rubber bands, until the fingers turned black and fell off. He saw a snake skin in the barn and now he won't set foot back in there.
