Mole Kingsnake

[Cwalker935]

I let my grass get a little long and after mowing this morning my wife said that I had killed a copperhead with the tractor. Upon checking it out I found what I believe to be a Mole Kingsnake which is one of the snakes that often gets confused as a copperhead. Most of the skin is in tact and I will likely skin it out. It as a beautiful snake and I regret the way it met its demise. I hate to see it go to waste. Do you think there would be much interest in Mole King Snake blanks?

Absolutely! Like you said, it's unfortunate but it's a beautiful snake and what a way to preserve its beauty for many to appreciate.

I don't particularly like snakes (not their fault)... But I appreciate their patterned skins. As you said and I agree, put it to good use.

As a SCUBA diver I also don't appreciate what Lionfish have done to the juvenile reef fish in the caribbean (also not their fault to being hungry), etc, but I truly believe they are a beautiful species.

I also hate when I kill an animal that had no real negative impact on me. But, if any positive outcome is possible - that is for the best.

Very nice snake skin. Love those colors.
