not to be insensitive to your loss, u can skin it or pickle it . stuffing is possible, will cost a few bucker-oos though

I've always thought it would be cool to have a loved snake made into a belt or wallet. I don't know the legalities of it though?

I bet you could find out easily enough. My best guess would be that captive bred and raised endangered species carcasses follow the same rules as live... you'd need an interstate commerce permit for any out of state sales.

There's a place in either Tulsa or Oklahoma City called "Skulls Unlimited. They will strip the flesh down to bare bones, using a variety of techniques, bleach them, and re-assemble the skeleton in the anotomicaly correct configuration for scientific display purposes. The skin can be "tanned" by any number of taxidermy or leather folks.,.........All for a price. Just seems a darn shame to bury them in the ground.
