>>I just researched on a random customs information site and I guess you can't bring reptile hides over to the US, not even immersed in ethanol. If anyone can dispute this, please let me know. Thanks!

Irrespective of ethanol etc., all Asian cobras are CITES-listed - you would need an export permit from Taiwan, and a CITES import permit from the US autorities.

I hope you did not pay money for that skin - all it does is encourage an often cruel and unsustainable trade in these aniamls, which are getting rarer in many parts of their range.

Cheers,

WW
