    Please excuse my gross index finger 😭 It's still healing from the poison ivy I encountered over the summer...
    Edit to add: Thanks for the interest in buying these, guys! Sadly, due to my hectic schedule, I no longer sell these online. They're only available at local reptile shows. That's why I made this video- so now you can make one of your own! ❤ Maybe we can sell them again in the future :)

    I just lost my 16-year-old corn snake last month. I'd had him since he was a baby, and it never occurred to me that I might want to save his shed for some reason. This is such a cool idea, and I wish I'd known about it sooner. Thank you for this lovely video.

    Thanks for this awesome tutorial! I finally gave this a go using a corn snake and ball python shed, and they turned out great! Some things I can suggest:
    -use a scalpel to cut the shed (and possibly also the paper) to shape, it's easier to be more precise.
    -you can paint the background paper with acrylic paints or iridescent nail polish or use a colourful cut-out from a magazine or something to create backgrounds that are shiny, have colour gradients or cool patterns.

I waited for a very long time after seeing this video for her to shed and as her condition got worse and worse i was fearing she just might not shed before she passes away. hopefully soon i can make a necklace with her shed.

    I can’t wait to have my own reptile!! I think I’ll cry when I finally get one. I’ve only been a snake lover for 4 years after having a High school teacher who loved to catch wild snakes for lessons. He had caught a baby rat snake named Bubbles and it somehow ended up in the art room where I was. Despite my fear I held it and immediately fell in love. (I realize now that the snake likely shouldn’t have been taken around the school so much but kids were irresponsible when they kidnapped it from the teachers room.) since then I’ve been doing research on snakes, Beardie, and so much more! Hopefully I’ll be financially stable enough after college so that I can own one.

    Got all the stuff! Making bookmarks with my iguana's skin tonight!
    Edit: A couple tips I found while making these...pick out larger scales vs small scales as they show the colored paper better. Also, rub a thin coat of the glaze on the skin before you cut it. It stiffens it a bit and makes it much easier to cut, otherwise it rips pretty easily! It also adds a nice shine to it before you put it in the cabochon! One more tip, my iguana's skin (other reptiles might be different) required a precision sharpie when marking on it, a pencil just wasn't working. Have fun to those who are trying this!

    Thought regarding the "trimming the skin/background to fit the cabochon" steps (and I don't have access to snake sheds, so this is totally hypothetical). Instead of using your fingers to hold the skin or background to the cabochon (which is hard to keep even), use the cabochon to hold the skin or background flat on a cutting surface and cut around it with a craft knife.
