snake skin question
« on: July 24, 2010, 10:11:00 PM »
Ok here's my deal i have a timber rat i just skinned... problem is my dad ran it over so i only have about 22 out of 48 inches that i can use... it starts out about 5 inches across(just the pattern) so could i cut it in half and use half on each limb? anyone did this?
