what species is this? wouldn't it be awsome if the sheds retained some color? maybe just a whisper of color to add mystery to the translucent delicacy of the shed.

oh, btw, wish i had known,too, over the years, how to cure sheds. i saved them till they desentegrated. always found them strangely fascinating.

I have no idea about what species he is. I didn't see who shed it lol. I am sure I will be able to tint the shed if I want to.

BTW, my shed was attacked by some little birds, so I had to pick him in and hang him in the garage lol.

Yuk
I hopoe you were able to kill them. Baby rattlesnakes are very deadly.

While living in Louisiana for seven years, I (8 mos pregnant) picked up a snoozing snake(he had settled in a pile of fall leaves left overnight), reached into an azalea bush and heard a rattle of yes a tiny rattlesnake, watched as my neighbor killed an 8 ft cottonmouth moccasin in my backyard and gasped when the movers brought a bookcase out of the attic with a coiled skeleton on the shelf. When we lived in California, every year they harvested the walnuts in the grove behind our home. They did it by bringing in a machine that grabbed the tree and "shook" it. When the nuts fell, the snakes bolted. And of course, the mice did too. As much as I understand the important role they play in nature, I'm still not a fan.
