Snake Survival Taxedermy 101

This is for the girls... There is a belt I'm going to make from the skin of a chicken snake. There is a story behind the belt... My mom told me there was a rattlesnake in the Turkey and Chicken coupe. She had a look on her face that said, "OH POOP!" I caught it in a hurry though it tried to scurry. After finding it eating one of my White Leghorns, leaving the others there to mourn. I tried moving it into a plastic bin. The snake being to tall to keep in. I had no choice his head to pin. I pinned it with a shovel against the wall. It's a good thing I didn't fall! I grabbed its body and threw it outside. That snake had one ride before it died. I feel bad about killing the snake. Though one of my Chickens it did take. This is what I did with the snake. Though it isn't a rattlesnake it isn't fake! In snake survival it is safe to say, one shouldn't throw a thing away! :)
