Interested in skinning and tanning some snake skins but not sure where to start after getting the skin off. Any help is appreciated!

Flesh it out real good with a dull knife.
Place in a jar of glycerin and rubbing alcohol (50/50 mixture)
Make sure the skin is fully submerged with no bubbles. Seal it and let it soak for 3 days. Stirring once a day.
Rinse it off and tack it stretched out to a board. Have wax paper between the skin and the board to keep it from sticking.
Let it dry out for a week. Not in direct sunlight.

This worked great on my son's rattlesnake two years ago. It came out soft and flexible. Pm me if you have questions.

^^ Exactly what he said. This is what I do when I get a big rattler. Works like a charm

When you tack it on the board, stretch it reasonably tight and use a LOT of tacks...as it dries, it'll draw up between tacks, the more you have, the less shrinkage you'll have. Put tacks in until they're an inch or so apart.

Here's a couple I did this year with my son. Skinned, pinned every inch or so, and covered with borax then set in attic to dry. Good to go in a week.
Top one was big female with 21 eggs inside.
