Coral Snake Sierra

[bobkeyes]

I rarely post anything, but follow the posts religiously. Here is something a little unusual you might enjoy seeing. The skin is from a coral snake. I hope you enjoy it.

Bob,
that's no 'snake eyes' but a real winner. You obviously save your posts for the 'good stuff'. Excellent work.

Excellent looking Sierra and really different. I'd love to have a couple of those blanks for myself.

Looks deadly to me---great job.

Sharp! That may be my favorite snakeskin pen so far.

HOW DO YOU DO THAT? I've got one of those snakes in the ice box and I'd love to do someing with it, before my mom kills me dead.

Red next to yellow---kill a fellow
Red next to black---won't hurt Jack

That's a killer pen Bob! Nice job with the casting(if you did it yourself) and with the pen. I just love making these snake skins. I must start searching for a source of other skins besides rattlesnake. Once again, very nice pen.
Do a ood turn daily!

OK, so are you going to let us know where you got the skin from?

 

[thewishman]

That is awesome! The colors a beautiful, I didn't know coral snakes were even in the 48 states.

 

[bobkeyes]

First, thanks for all the compliments. The skin is from a taxidermist friend and came from Texas. Yes, there are coral snakes in Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, and Florida. This one was a "road kill".

Penmonkey, if you need to get rid of the skin I will certainly take it. They are not easy to find.

Thanks again.

Awesome pen!

Bob, I looked up your site, very nice. You should know, I'm the other guy in America who knows where Corbin, KY is. [] We own some land not far from you.
Can't add anything to the compliments about the pen. Really unique and beautiful.
One comment said it was "a killer". Wuz that a pun? [] Corals is mean critters. I doubt we have them in my part of Arkansas but we do have a harmless snake that strongly resembles the coral.

Frank,
It is probably the Scarlet King Snake.

Reason it probably doesnt look real is that the tube is showing. Normaly that makes for a real bad look, not so shabby on this one though.
