namibiahunterSnake Skin
A couple of years ago I killed a Black Mamba that had killed some of my PH's cows but I didn't take the skin. I was just thinking that it would have made an interesting belt or hat band.
Just wondering if anyone else has done anything with snake skin and if you had any trouble importing it.

Karl Snamibiahunter, we killed a big puff adder in April in the Kalahari, and tried to export it as a curio with my clients other trophies (incl a leopard, CITES 1). They would not allow it. If you apply for a trophy hunting permit of a specific snake beforehand, there should be no problem.
