I am trying to mount a rattlesnake for the first time and I can't any videos on youtube on skinning the head just the body but I already know how to skin the body because I have tons of rattlers at my house in Central Washington so I want to make some money off of the mounts but I don't know how to skin the head of a rattlesnake. So can you please do a video on that or show me were to find a video on that. Also when you are buying a form for the snake I am wanting to get a form that has the mouth open and I found some and it has the mouth open with the hole for the tongue and stuff so i am wondering if you still have to buy a mouth insert? But anyways awesome video!

Theres really no trick to it. Just go slow and dont get stuck. You can pull the fangs out with pliers..

Hello.. i really enjoyed this video very much. And learned a lot just from the chat. Only thing is, i saw the question asked numerous times but never saw an actual answer to it. HOW DO YOU SKIN THE HEAD OUT? AND NOT DYE IN THE PROCESS .. Lol. I would really like to kept one in tact completely, from tip of nose to the button but my husband freaks out every time i attempt to do it and makes me, ya know, get rid of that end. Hahaha. So my question really is... can you please teach me how to do it. I would even pay you, if need be. Its just one of those things i need to know how to do but am a lil frightened to do it without some knowledge on it first.

Very carefully! Theres really no tricks to teach. Take your time, and stay away from the fangs. You could pull them out with some pliers... but I just avoid them.

Man you have a ton of scale loss on that guy . Got to be easy with them guys and try not to knock off all them scales makes a lot better looking mount .
@bigdstaxidermy9286 2 жыл бұрын
Those arent scales. The scale sheaths all come off. If you dont take them off, theyll come off eventually.. unless you got one that just shed its skin. What I REALLY need to do is put pics on the end of the video AFTER paint. This was only showing the mounting process and not the finishing.

You cant. It needs to be skinned and tanned and put on a form. There are other ways to preserve skin, but not like this.
