I could not even find a stick. It would make a nice hat band. My hatband fell off last week. He was long enough to make a good belt. I shot a short video on my camera. You can even see the beads bouncing in his rattler. If anyone can do youtube I can send it so it can be posted.

At least the ones that rattle give some warning. Not like a copperhead that is aggressive enough to come after you.

How do you "cure" a snake skin to use on something like that?

I have just peeled them off the snake then salted it. After a week or so then rub with mineral oil or lanolin to keep it soft and help retain the color. I am sure there are more scientific methods available. I then take the skin and attach it to a leather strip (any stiffener) to help keep the shape for whatever I am making.

Nice looking model 12 Winchester there Ed. Is it yours?
With friends like that rattler I'd part company, like two parts. Head and belt.
Life's concerns should be about the 120lb pack your trying to get to the top of the mountain, and not the rock in your boot.
