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 thought it was just skin coming off Edit: Maybe you can make some necklaces, bracelets,ECT with this on patreon, Twitter, ECT for some subscribers! Edit two:for some reason I'm thinking of a app/game to where you can design your own necklace, bracelet,ECT with shed skin on the as the design of pendant :/
I wonder if it's her snail! I have a friend who owns a plethora of snails, even bred them. They're amazing and adorable creatures. I hope Emily has snails haha!
I used to have a snail, I picked it out from outside so I decided it was time with him to go home so I sent him out with a leaf of lettuce for his troubles.
I love that you're teaching people how to make these and make the most of sheds from their snakes even tho you also sell them. We can tell it's not about the money with you, but about both your love for reptiles and your love for teaching the community. Awesome!
I don’t understand the people acting soooo weirded out by this. How is this any different than wearing cow leather or snake skin boots? Other than you actually can’t touch the skin because it’s behind glass...and no animals are killed.😂 This is about as gross as a preserved flower in a glass paperweight.

Yes! I'm a professional crafter and now have the perfect logical reason to convince my husband into letting me buy the snakes and lizards I've always wanted!
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.
Me and my boyfriend of two years just got an albino hognose named Winchester. (Okay, well it’s his but I’ve claimed it as my child too). Winchester is going through his first shed right now. For Valentine’s Day we’re gonna have craft time and make each other a keychain/necklace. I’m so excited.
My boy finally shed yesterday and now I can make some!! He normally would need help shedding but he did it all by himself including the eye caps and I’m so proud of him 🥺
You could probably use a special card stock paper with a metallic/color shifting effect as the background piece to get a really cool realistic scale look!
I still have the shed from my python that had to be put down and was struggling to find a good thing to do with it, these are beautiful, thank you Emily ❤️
I deeply appreciate you explaining every single step, including things that would be obvious to a lot of people but I'd not think about (like adding the o ring, popping the bubbles etc) fantastic content 👌
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!
Thank-you!!! How did you manage to let the glaze on the skin dry without gluing it to some surface? Or did you glaze a larger piece directly on the paper and then cut them as one entitly?
Me: “OooOooO this looks fun I wanna do that” Me: **thinks for a second** Me: **comes to a realization** Me: “wait I don’t have a snake” Edit: please stop replying to this. Ahhhhh.

I am absolutely in LOVE with this idea! I bought some pendants and now my python has shed for the first time since I bought him. Awesome idea for an 8ft python shed!
Honestly, since you did SO good on this, and you're sharing how you did it, you're probably the nicest human ever. So many people would copyright or "secret recipe" it. Not you. Thank you.

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.
Miah The Seahorse Shapeshifter Siren Hybrid With a lot of geckos, they eat their shed to consume whatever nutrients are in the shed. Not because they’re scared, try and leave the shed in their tank next time they shed, and see if they eat it.

This looks like an amazing way of remembering our reptile pets. I recently lost my corn snake of around 14 years and just a couple weeks before she passed away she had shed and I kept it. 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 usually feed my snake sheds to the thousands of isopods I keep. They chow down....but now they are going to have to leave me some to make some cool jewelry!
I’m a jewellery maker in the uk and need to try these. I don’t have any reptiles as I get unwell and would be irresponsible to do so , now I’m looking for shed to craft these. Really excited to see how this project goes on the hunt for them 😀

I am obsessed with snakes for about 20 years now, but I'm still grossed out by their shed skin. I could never imagine keeping the sheds. Although I like the ideas of the pendants. It's just too much fiddling around with this dried up, crunchy skin..
@@petrescuework-difficultcas6581 That's fine ^.^ But my stepmother always viewed them as creatures to be spurned and culled. Not simply preferences. I'm honestly thankful she allowed me to keep my beloved "dragon".
@@petrescuework-difficultcas6581 But Emily said, if you make them moist you can smooth them out. Maybe just put it into water completely and try to gently pull it apart?
I love this! I hate the thought of when the time will come when Morticia isn't with us, but, this is a way to have her forever. Thank you for showing this crafty idea. 🐍💚
cmsully1 if she doesn’t, I’m sure you could ask your local pet stores or zoo if you could have some snake sheds from their critters to make your own if you don’t have any noodles at home 😊💚
i think so, because in her tutorial on how to brumate snakes, she said afterwards in the mating season, she uses the snake sheds to help the males show breeding behaviour, because they think that the shed is another male
We got sucked into your channel last week and have watched several hours of videos since then. After coming upon this one we immediately procured the materials on Amazon and waited patiently! They came today and I’m so please with how they came out. Thank you for the great tutorial!
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.
I’ve been watching your channel for a while, and I never knew you made jewelry. How cool! Great work Emily! I personally don’t wear jewelry, but another great way to keep reptile shed is to buy glass jars with a lid (either from your local dollar store or a craft store) and keep it in that. Looks really good as a display piece in any room.
My snake had his first shed with me today, and it came off very nicely! Got a really good head piece too, so I am definitely going to be trying this out! Thanks for such a clear, easy-to-understand tutorial for how to make these :)
That O ring we call a jump ring in the UK also love this idea and going to see if I can get some scales from the local pet store so I can make these as I do a necklace stall and these are awesome!
tried doing this today! made two bracelets and a set of earrings. super fun, super simple, super cute and cool!! I've never had an impulse to buy construction paper before this, lol. highly recommended!
Beautiful jewelry! If you use a split ring rather than an O-Ring to attach your beautiful pendants would have a much less likely to be lost ratio. Putting the split ring on will be more labor intensive but I wouldn’t want to loose one of those :).
That's so creative. When I first started keeping reptiles I kept all the sheds. Now, they get tossed, though I always feel kinda guilty doing it. So now I Have a great way to recycle the sheds. Thanks!
I came to the comments because my boyfriends sister has a gecko and thought she'd get a kick out of this video but now I'm sad knowing geckos eat their skin. Shoot.
After watching this I decided to make a set of snake shed jewelry for my lovely environmental science teacher with my corn snake's old shed! Thank you for sharing!

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.
Oh cool idea about the iridescent or metallic paint, I was thinking of seeing if this would work with thin jewelry foil.
Thanks for the tips!
Leonetta, did you ever try using thin jewelry foil when crafting these?
I’ll see if I can get a solid bit of shed from my gecko’s foot for a tiny pendant (if I can catch her before she eats it).
Any luck so far? It's been 2 months.

Ok, those pendants are GORGEOUS. Do you have an online store for these? They'd be perfect for the Slytherin Xmas tree I'm making!
cmsully1 if she doesn’t, I’m sure you could ask your local pet stores or zoo if you could have some snake sheds from their critters to make your own if you don’t have any noodles at home 😊💚
@@katelillo1932 I may just do that, thank you!
I like how detailed you made this video, if somebody copy's you its obvious who was the original because yours will all ways be the best version :)
Wait wait
She has several different sheds on hand within a second
So...
Does she just have like a box of sheds?
i think so, because in her tutorial on how to brumate snakes, she said afterwards in the mating season, she uses the snake sheds to help the males show breeding behaviour, because they think that the shed is another male
probably,, they use sheds in bioactive enclosures
In one of her recent videos, I saw a pile of sheds under the false chameleon table
We got sucked into your channel last week and have watched several hours of videos since then. After coming upon this one we immediately procured the materials on Amazon and waited patiently! They came today and I’m so please with how they came out. Thank you for the great tutorial!
She gives off the energy of that horse girl from school, but reptiles instead lmao
Why did you call her lameo
@@daniellepatterson1120 I hope you kidding...
@@daniellepatterson1120 child.. are you serious
Fredrick the bird now this makes me lmao
I'm a horse girl
Emily:
Slugs: Rex, eat it.
Shed: make jewlery.
Poop: Fertilizer
Nothing to waste :D
That is the best part
you are not kind she werked on this
@@andreasrosengren522 why is that not kind???
@@andreasrosengren522 r/youngpeopleyoutube
yup true
Emily, you are a woman of many talents! Thank you for sharing your jewelry-making technique. That hognose snake on your table is too cute!
Just a little heads up. The o rings are also called jump rings.
That said... Omgosh this is an amazing idea
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.
I'm DEFINITELY trying this once my corn starts having bigger sheds!
I’ve been watching your channel for a while, and I never knew you made jewelry. How cool! Great work Emily! I personally don’t wear jewelry, but another great way to keep reptile shed is to buy glass jars with a lid (either from your local dollar store or a craft store) and keep it in that. Looks really good as a display piece in any room.
That is so totally cool! I am not a reptile person but I love the pendants!
My snake had his first shed with me today, and it came off very nicely! Got a really good head piece too, so I am definitely going to be trying this out! Thanks for such a clear, easy-to-understand tutorial for how to make these :)
That O ring we call a jump ring in the UK also love this idea and going to see if I can get some scales from the local pet store so I can make these as I do a necklace stall and these are awesome!
tried doing this today! made two bracelets and a set of earrings. super fun, super simple, super cute and cool!! I've never had an impulse to buy construction paper before this, lol. highly recommended!
This makes me wonder what a pendant with a scaleless snake shed would look like
Beautiful jewelry! If you use a split ring rather than an O-Ring to attach your beautiful pendants would have a much less likely to be lost ratio. Putting the split ring on will be more labor intensive but I wouldn’t want to loose one of those :).
I’m 100% gonna make one of these for my friend who had to rehome their snake to me, that’s awesome! I’ve ordered all the things for it!
That's so creative. When I first started keeping reptiles I kept all the sheds. Now, they get tossed, though I always feel kinda guilty doing it. So now I Have a great way to recycle the sheds. Thanks!
Me: Yes! My lizards shedding! I can't wait to make this!
Also me: Realizes I have a leopard gecko:shoot
Any reptile is eligible (:
K C leopard geckos eat their shed. I have a leopard gecko but I can’t get her shed because she eats it.
I was thinking of this with my beardie but he sheds in tiny pieces so that would be one small pendent lol
Theres been once or twice my leo gecko didnt eat a bit. You gotta watch and YOINK while its not looking!
I came to the comments because my boyfriends sister has a gecko and thought she'd get a kick out of this video but now I'm sad knowing geckos eat their skin. Shoot.
0:00 Emily: "Are you not sure what to do with your snake or lizards shed skin?"
Me: "am I supposed to?" *questions life decisions*
Lol
One of my friends gave me their dead snakes shed, so I followed this tutorial to make a pendant. Thank you! 😊
Emily, there is nothing you can't do!!! Love this!!!
THE SNAIL!! 😍🥰😍
I LOOOVE this. I currently feed my snake's shed to my isopod colonies but this is pretty damn cool and will definitely be doing this.
Me: **getting exited when she says snails**
Emily: No we dont need snails.... >:)
Me: **cries holding my pet snails**
Piggy Player
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Me: “This looks so cool! I want one!”
Also me: *doesnt own a snake*
Still me: *goes outside and starts looking for snake skin*
I got hecka lucky cause I found some black racer shed a week after finding this video.
@@copper3184 oh niiiiiiiiice
Where can u find this is at the village xD
You never know, you might get lucky
I went camping and found a snake that was actively shedding so I collected the shed afterward
After watching this I decided to make a set of snake shed jewelry for my lovely environmental science teacher with my corn snake's old shed! Thank you for sharing!
Wow that’s cool there gorgeous!! I didn’t even know about this I love that can you sell them online? Please
it would probably be too hard to make individually since they’re always so busy :) too time consuming
They appear to be for sale on amazon. Just look up her company Sssnakey Designs!
emilyp6658 they don’t seem to be in stock rn
Jewelia McCleskey I don’t mean mass produce more like an Etsy shop sell them when she has them available
No one:
Me: *doesn’t own a reptile* going herping in the creek that’s only an inch deep in my neighborhood to steel some snakes skin
Taylor N shed*
Steal* but same tho
don't be suspicious don't be suspicious
ewww
I don’t even like touching my snakes skin
I dont have a pet snake or a pet lizard.....
But I want a necklace because it's so beautiful!
You can probably get a shed skin from just asking on facebook!
Check your local pet stores thats what im doing
I watched this video a long time ago and I’m making necklaces for all my friends! I’ve got two done so far! They all love them
