Thanks for not thinking I was rude, it was just so detail oriented I was curious.

Thanks, I bought a kit from a leather company a long time ago the last time I tanned some skins it worked great, I was told once that anti-freeze was a good way to tan but the only time I tried it it turned the skins a translucent greenish color it was interesting but not so useful really, I might not have used the right type of fluid though, what was mentioned was that it had the right stuff in it, like glycerin, alcohol, and ethylene glycol I am not sure what is really required for the "right" way to tan, other than tannic acids that came with the kit, (wish I still had the box it came in to list the chemicals), I have a few skins that I will do one of these days and will look up the best way to do it when I am readyI have seen a Black snake constrict and eat a copperhead 1/2 its size. I know we have a lot of first posts from the Snake Humane Society to not use the shovel but how do you think the chick feels when he gets taken by a snake.
Nature is pretty but not always nice and we are part of the ecosystem too.
If its a problem Black snake I would relocate if possible and if a copperhead its DOA. That said I have never had a problem black snake and the copperheads don't live long enough to become a problem.
One less snake is better than a chance of child , dog , chicken or adult getting bitten.
JMHO
ETA BTW Elwood great idea and thanks for the post - like the hat band idea - may need to try that on my next Copperhead- you just skin and dry or do you need to process it in some way.?
place in water and drown them
