For this skin, we did not remove the scales. I like the look with the scales on and it will just be displayed on the wall, so not concerned about the scales falling off with use.
@@buffaloman5042 It is best to remove the scales after the snakeskin has been tanned (it is firmer at this point) and before it is oiled (the oil will penetrate better). The direction booklet for the Tan-a-Snake kit shows how to remove them. It is just gently popping them off with the fleshing tool or scraping with steel wool with no soap. Go easy as to not remove the pigment.
amazing job !
Will this product work on lizard skin such as iguana or tegu?
Yes, it has been tested on Iguana skin successfully. After it is tanned, be sure to get the oil into all areas of the scales on the skin.
@@TanningYourHide Perfect! Looking forward to getting some python and tegu done and turn them into some wallets and what not. Thank you!

Have you tried tanning a beaver tail with this product?
Beaver tails are tricky to tan. This product alone is not recommended. You can call us and we have some additional information.
