These Texas western diamondback rattlesnake skins are legally harvested in Texas as part of a program to reduce their numbers in the wild. These project pieces are glycerin-tanned and are suitable for making small craft items such as wallets.
Trophy-grade rattles have 14+ buttons and are 2.75"+ long. Please note that these are natural, not manufactured products. While on the rattlesnake, the rattle can be dragged along sand and rocks as the rattlesnake slides around the desert. As such, please understand that sometimes a few buttons can be cracked or broken.
Before making any items with the skins it is up to the artist or craftsperson to make sure that the materials are suitable for their purpose. We do not guarantee suitability for any project and cannot accept returns once the skins have been cut.
None of our rattlesnake products come from California or Oregon.
Texas western diamondback rattlesnakes are not endangered.
A USFWS export permit is required for all shipments outside the USA.
