If a snake gets killed in camp or elsewhere can you bring the skin back to the US? ______________________ DRSS ______________________ Hunt Reports 2015 His & Her Leopards with Derek Littleton of Luwire Safaris - http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/2971090112 2015 Trophy Bull Elephant with CMS http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/1651069012 DIY Brooks Range Sheep Hunt 2013 - http://forums.accuratereloadin...901038191#9901038191 Zambia June/July 2012 with Andrew Baldry - Royal Kafue http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7971064771 Zambia Sept 2010- Muchinga Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4211096141 Namibia Sept 2010 - ARUB Safaris http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6781076141 | ||

It depends upon the kind of snake, as some are guarded under CITES just like mammals believe it or not. Still, if you want to have a non-protected snake hide tanned or a snake mounted it can be done legally. Check with your PH for local regulations. | |||

Check with your PH, but also check with someone like Life Form Taxidermy in White River, South Africa, as they will know whether or not it is exportable. They are up to date on all the regulations, what animals are exportable, etc. | |||

Usually a killed snake is so beat up that the skin would not be worth keeping - at least that's happened with my Black Mamba and Puff Adder. I've never seen one but I think that the Gaboon Adder would make a handsome trophy. . | |||

the only good(poisonous) snake is a dead one in multiple pieces. difficult to mount or skin. Vote Trump- Putin’s best friend… To quote a former AND CURRENT Trumpiteer - DUMP TRUMP | |||

It would probably not even be worth the trouble to try to bring a snake skin back. Consider all the reasons previously mentioned, as well as the difficulty of getting it properly tanned in the bush, and the method that it was dispatched might not lend it to display in your trophy room. | |||

The puff adders certainly would make great hat-bands: Steve "He wins the most, who honour saves. Success is not the test." Ryan "Those who vote decide nothing.

They sure would! And a Gaboon Viper would make an even better one! Don't know how to post a picture of one, maybe someone will help me out?? | |||

These things make my scin crawl. We used to have to keep out eyes open for them (blunt nosed vipers similar to the puff adder I suppose), in Cyprus when huntng in the mountains, an by the time a couple of tubes of lead went their way they didn't lend themselves for taxidermy... I shot two in one day that I nearly trod on in the short grass, not something I'd care to repeat in a hurry. I'm not sure about mounting the skin but I have seen a couple of skeleton mounts of vipers that looked really cool. I'll see if I can find some picture of what I mean. FB | |||
