I have a few copperhead snakeskins in my basement from a few I have dispatched over the years.  I just treated them with borax nailed to a board.  Is that something that would be useful?

I got my last one with my Harley.......and the two before that with a broadhead out of a longbow.  Copperheads tend to lay on the roads at night when the weather starts to cool around here.
