Amy Siewe, known as the Python Huntress, attracted our attention when we learned about her efforts to eradicate these invasive, non-native species from the Florida Everglades. Pythons have decimated up to 90% of the natural wildlife in some areas of this region. We share Amy’s sentiments on "saving the hide”, so it’s only fitting that we tan a skin of our own.

Have you tried tanning a beaver tail with this product?

[@AdvancedTanningSolutions]

Beaver tails are tricky to tan. This product alone is not recommended. You can call us and we have some additional information.

Did u not remove the scales??

[@AdvancedTanningSolutions]

For this skin, we did not remove the scales. I like the look with the scales on and it will just be displayed on the wall, so not concerned about the scales falling off with use.

@AdvancedTanningSolutions im making some that will be used..do u soak them in something else if you want scales off before tanning

[@AdvancedTanningSolutions]

@@buffaloman5042 It is best to remove the scales after the snakeskin has been tanned (it is firmer at this point) and before it is oiled (the oil will penetrate better). The direction booklet for the Tan-a-Snake kit shows how to remove them. It is just gently popping them off with the fleshing tool or scraping with steel wool with no soap. Go easy as to not remove the pigment.
