Q&A for How to Skin a Snake

You should wait two to three hours, although some bigger snakes can take over three hours to settle.

I simply scrape any remaining meat off the hide and chuck the whole thing in to a jar of glycerin and seal it. It cures in a couple of weeks and remains soft and supple afterwards.

You cut it off and dispose of it, unless you want to keep a part of it, like the fangs or skull. If you want to keep the skull, it's best to slowly scrape away the skin to make sure you don't damage the bone.

Yes, but the skin will become "crispy" and brittle once dried if you only use salt.

You can wait up to 36 hours but don't wait much longer than that for fear of putrefying the meat.
