This here copperhead almost gave me a heart attack about 10 years ago. When I saw him, I had just taken a step off my back porch and his head was about 2 inches from my toes and I was wearing flip-flops. I jumped back, grabbed a stick and beat his brains out. I skinned him after I settled down a bit. Then soaked him for about 2 hours in cold water. Fleshed him out and put him in a bowl of water with about 1 & 1/2 cups of salt. Put it in the fridge and forgot about him for about 2 weeks. Then took him out and pegged him on a board. I put the board in an unused closet to dry out. I left it there for about 2 weeks. Then pulled the skin off the board and haven't found a use for it yet.

Grizz, I been wanting to do a snake but my wife would leave me if I did, so. I remember back some time when I was working in an envirnmental lab we found a little copper head just inside the back door. We put it in a 6L container gas him with chloraform. When we were sure he was dead we pinned it to a cardboad box lid and covered it with sodium sulfate and left it for the night and the next morning it was very dry so we framed it and hung it on the wall it stayed there until the lab closed. This happed way before I got into tanning. chuck
