my dad ran over a rattle snake in august. i skinned it out and tanned it with alcohol and anti-freeze.the snake was 4 1/2 long had 13 rattlers and a button. i threw the meat in a ant bed and covered with a bucket for a month.picked the bones from the ant bed and bleached them, cried about my ant bites and strung the vertebraes on a hemp string with the pony beads

Ya I like it too! Never used the ants before. They do a great job don't they? My daughter out in AZ has started picking up snake tanning. I'll have to tell her about your necklace. She brought me some of the meat so I could try some just this last august. it does 'taste like chicken', lol.
Very interesting necklace.. The red beads really sets em off, too.
