Tuesday Treasure
A very quick post this week, as I have a hair appointment in half an hour. More from Nature's Treasure Trove, my collection of snake skins! (don't freak out, they can't hurt you!)

Jar number one on the left contains a whole skin from my friend Justin's black headed python, Sprocket. Jar two contains a whole skin, including intact head, of an eastern brown snake which my Dad brought home from work for me. Jar number three contains 2 almost whole skins from another two of Justin's snakes, Pebbles and Rocky the spotted pythons. Jar number four contains a heap of other skins from Justin, which are from Sprocket, Rocky, Pebbles, Nyoka and Trousa. Jar number 5, the small one in front, contains remnants of skins I have discovered around the place, from the backyard to the botanical gardens to my church.

OMG you do love nature don't you! I'm petrified of snakes, I don't even think I could bring myself to even touching a skin. I'm perfectly fine with all other creapy crawlies including lizards but snakes freak me out!
My sons' python shed last night I should have kept the skin for you .
Thanks for playing along and I hope you get a good pampering at the hairdressers .
I always find it amazing that snakes shed their skins in one piece... remarkable... Nyoka is the word we used in Africa for snake(but I expect you knew that)

OK...Manda...Snake Lady.....LOL...the are all very nice, not sure what else I can say...LOL...
Don't think I'll show the boys your blog. They may want to start collecting too!
very exciting.........ds loves them......
I only managed to get a few clean sheds from my ball python due to a huge scar on his side that always caused the skin to rip at the part when he was shedding :/. its so cool how the skins look so different depending on the size of their scales
Amazing! Snake skins I can handle, but the real thing freaks me out! When my son was little, he was picking strawberries with a tiger snake at his feet, we have had a few tigersnakes in the back yard over the years but as we have a water hole in the paddock behind us, its to be expected. They will be just starting to yawn now...
Thankyou for sharing, my son had to have a closer look!

Cool skins, better in jars at your place than as a pair of shoes!
I must say that is an unusual collection , I never knew anyone ever saved them but then again I know very little about snakes ,neat jars.
An amazing collection. When we lived in Cairns when my son was about 6 he came home from school one day with a snake around his neck. I freaked and asked how he knew it was a dead snake. He said "Oh Mum I kicked it first". We kept that snake for a few years but could not bring it back to Sydney with us. He was most disapointed.

Now that is an unusual treasure. I have grown to have this irrational fear of snakes, but as a kid I loved taking snakes, spiders, scorpions in jars to school for show and tell.
ewww Amanda you are one crazy girl...but gotta love ya!!!
