Title: Need Garter snake skin.
Post by: Bryce on February 07, 2014, 02:23:55 am

Needs some nice garter skins.

Willing to trade stone(obsidian) or stave, depending on the quality of the skin(s) I have PNW woods.

Bryce, I guess you're looking for bow backing quality skins, right?

idk if you realize this but there are garter snakes all over the US and many look quite different from each other.  Some black and red, some brown, and some turquoise. What color do you want?  once the weather warms up I see a lot of dead ones on the road I can pick up for you.

I caught a red and black one this summer, like 3' long! I was with my girl so I would have never heard the end of it if I proceeded to kill it in front of her. Lol good luck man

I have a few,not sure how they match up,will look and see.We call them chicken snakes around but all about the same.  :) They look a lot like these,just sometimes hard to get a match. How long do they need to be ?

I have one that came out from under my mower last year. Mostly just got its head chopped. Will try to get a pic and a measurement tommorow if you still need it.


I went ahead and got it out of my shed. Looks worse than i remembered.

I had to move out of a rental house once because of those little guys. Momma has no tolerance for snakes. LOL

There's a lot of those around here. When it warms up they'll start moving. I You still need some in a month or so holler at me and I'll see about getting a couple to you.
