Unusual Cargo...Snake Skins

A few weeks ago while working on an airplane, my colleague returned from a flight and said "come check this out."  His passenger was bringing python snake skins to sell at the market for use in making boots, gloves, etc.  The one being held above was over twelve feet long!

I'm not a huge fan of snakes, but I'm still in awe of their beauty and design.  As the sunlight shone through the snake skins, all kinds of deeper yellows and blacks revealed themselves, much more so than this picture indicates.  For those of you with snake skin boots, now you know where they come from!
