is goodwill allowed to sell rattlesnake skins? are they something you can just buy or is it unethical? heres one being sold in AZ
https://shopgoodwill.com/item/169900500
Link for everyone - this is a shed rattler skin for sale.
Exact legality will depend on your area - in some states in the US, it's illegal to sell parts of native reptiles. The ethics are another question and a bit more nuanced.
In this example, this is a shed and not a full skin. This is 100% ethical to collect and own - the snake's gonna shed it anyway, and stress to the animal actually messes up the shedding process, so there's no risk of unethical actors bugging snakes to get sheds like this. This shed was probably just found out in nature and collected.
Full skins, though, are a different story. Most full skins for sale have been collected from rattlesnake roundups, which are sickening celebrations of cruelty against rattlesnakes - you can read about them and what you can do to help here (nothing graphic in the post but tw for animal cruelty). Even if it's legal to buy a full skin in your area, I would strongly recommend against it simply because most complete skins are collected from roundups and it's unethical to support that.
You can identify shed skins because they tend to look and feel pretty flimsy. They're kinda translucent and they're very fragile. Nothing wrong with owning these, and you can make lots of cool crafts with them if you're so inclined.
Tumblr media
An actual full skin will look more like this. Steps will have likely been taken to preserve it, as with any other animal hide. I don't think it's ever wise to risk buying these because I've rarely seen any sourced from anywhere other than rattlesnake roundups.

"Borrowed" hides of bears and deer.  Wonder if the animals will ask for them back. 
Source details and larger version.

Can you help us pinpoint which animal this hide belongs to?
This papier-mâché mask is a recent acquisition, likely originating from Korea. With its four “golden” eyes, this mask likely represents a Bangsangssi character. 
Our conservators have identified the methods of construction, but we are still working to identify which animal the damaged skin, which adorns the piece, came from. In the Conservation Lab, we have studied the skin morphology and narrowed down some possible candidates, including: tanuki, golden jackal, binturong, corsac fox, wolverine, or mongolian wolf. But it has been difficult to assess due to insect damage. 
We also examined guard hairs from the skin under the microscope. The thick hairs vary in color, have an undulating shape and are roughly 3.98 ± 1.33 cm in length. The cuticle of the guard hair has a flattened distal-scale pattern. The pigment bodies are dispersed throughout the cortex. The medulla is irregularly vacuolated. The thick shield of the root bulb is spade-shaped and larger than the shaft. 
If you or someone you know might have ideas for what animal this hide and hair might have belonged to, please drop your theories and reasoning in the comments below until May 23!

Fergus Drennan is a professional forager who often sleeps in a solo tent in the woods to be closer to the wild materials he collects for eating, tanning, and druid-like experimenting. Foraging for food is just one aspect of his bushcraft (which includes making clothing, fire, and shelter).
For decades he’s been collecting mushrooms and plants for food. He’s spent 11 months of the year living on wild food alone (only February remains elusive), but when funding allows, he hopes to dedicate more time to completing his Year-Long 100% Wild Food Experiment.
He's a vegetarian except for what he calls “accidental meat” (he was "The Roadkill Chef" for a BBC show produced by Jamie Oliver's company). He also uses “found” animal skins to create leather drumheads.
More recently, he has been preparing and tanning fish skins donated from sushi restaurants so his archeologist partner Charissa van Eijk can turn them into handbags, wallets, and jewelry. Together they teach courses in fish skin tanning that “goes far beyond (although not excluding) the traditional and well-known tanning methods using bark, eggs, brains, and urine.”
Not believing in the separation between life, play, and work, Fergus recognizes that all roads lead to a life embedded in nature, providing physical sustenance and psychological nourishment.

Y'ALL IT REALLY WAS A KI.T!!!
his leather is kinda crunchy (especially the tail oops), he has only one front and one back paw each, and his ears are gone, but he's got a lil white spot and is def a young f.ox and not a fis.her/whatever!
I've been looking for a young fo.x pelt to have in my adult-juvenile comparison collection for like 8 years now and he's here! and even in a color I have a direct adult comparison of! :D

(also he came in a lot with a good quality r.abbit backhide and VERY soft (like, almost sheared b.eaver texture) min.k coat scrap which I left for THIRTY SECONDS to grab my phone and come back to the cat chilling on so... yeah.)

So here we have the skin of the boa that I've been working on, a really beautiful animal.
Tumblr media
The skin is whole and mostly intact except for a little damage to the jaw I did during skinning by accident and a very very small hole in the middle of the animal on the back, I'm not sure if it was already there or I did it, actually
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Finally, the skin was extended and nailed on three pieces of Styrofoam that I glued with tape to get the required size since it is an animal of 1.38 meters, practically double the size that the guy who gave it to me told me (60-80 cm)
Tumblr media
At the end of having nailed it with hundreds of pins to Styrofoam it was salted and now I will wait for it to dry to remove it and take more photos once it is dry
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Quite possibly I'll tan it with alcohol and glycerin since it worked very well for me with a Mexican pine snake skin I got from a roadkill a couple of years ago, although I still have to think about it and evaluate the options, possibly it would be better to pay by a professional tanner for being such a beautiful skin

3, 4, 8, 24, 33 for valtii, >:)
KURT MY BELOVED IN THE INBOX LETS GOOO. This one's gonna be long so ill put it under a readmore!
03. What would be their favorite physical trait about themselves?
Valtii really likes the way the skin around his eyes crinkle when they smile :)
04. What are their favorite traits about their lover? (one psychological and one physical) (im including all quads here! love is not limited to just red!)
Astris: Absolutely ADORES her hair!! His cheerleader-esque attitude always brightens their mood and motivates them to keep their chin up even when he doesn't feel like it!
Odoleu: THEY LOVE HER BIG SMILE SO MUCH. Odd's cooler personality balances theirs out very well, and their very presence is super super comforting...like a good tether to reality! (wails)
Elrick: HIS VOICE. IT'S SO NICE 2 THEM AUGH! Elrick is also very grounded in his beliefs, something Valtii appreciates soso much...bc they can be a little extra sometimes! He's reeled in when he needs to be!
08. What is, perhaps, their biggest flaw? Are they aware of this or oblivious to it?
They are VERY VERY critical of themselves and the media he creates! They know it makes him look a little vain and are very aware of it...but habits are really hard to break especially when they've been drilled into his head so many times!
24. In their own words, how would your character describe what their lover is like?
Astris: "Down-to-earth and passionate in both who she loves and what he does. He's proof that when things start to get hard, you've got to swing back harder."
Odoleu: "Perfectly imperfect, and incredibly fierce whether she knows it or not. We're both working through our own troubles, but it's a lot easier with them..and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."
Elrick: "Strong and steadfast, both psychically and mentally. He only looks scary at first glance, but he's ever the sweetheart! (laughs)"
33. If your character wanted to be alone, where would they go?
Buried behind a trillion books in a bookstore or library!! Their usual stomping grounds are too obvious....and sometimes inspiration pulls from unlikely stories they tend to pick up :)
