SPECIAL $30 for the large 2 inch beasts, $20 for the sensible 1 inch awesome. Take off another $5 if you send me a snake shed you'd like me to use. Send only dry sheds in a breathable paper envelope.
I got burm, carpet python, and black head python. Costs an extra $5 for some of the venomous sheds (black cobra, gaboon, timber rattlesnake) I'm setting up for a batch and I could use more to create a good batch. Pick your shed and a color you'd like the pendant to be. These are collected from a very large public collection and 10% of all these sales is donated directly toward their care.

Here's an album of the sheds and examples
There are state laws that will prevent ownership of timber rattlesnake. I am from Illinois, it is legal for me to obtain sheds from a captive collection and legal for me to sell said sheds from a captive population. It is illegal for me to use sheds collected from the wild.
I found a nice summary here, check your specific laws though
"Although not federally listed as Threatened, the Timber Rattlesnake is recognized
as imperiled throughout the Midwest. It is listed as Endangered by the states of Indiana
and Ohio, and Threatened in Illinois and Minnesota. Timbers are classified as non-listed
Protected Wild Animals in Wisconsin, and receive no special protection in Missouri,
though all herpetofauna is protected against indiscriminate killing in Missouri. The
Timber Rattlesnake is not protected in Iowa, as Iowa law specifically states that Timber
Rattlesnakes shall not be protected. Outside of the Midwest, status varies, with many
states in the northeast offering legal protection and many southern states affording no
special protection to Timber Rattlesnakes. Experts agree that the Timber Rattlesnake
is in trouble throughout most of it s range. However, the fact that it is large and
poisonous may preclude federal protection. "

PS: Hunt for rocks
Also, have you ever done this with feathers? My landlord has small parrots who would probably make some amazing jewelry if you found a way to resin them!
I have considered and tested out with feathers, the hard part I haven't figured out is how to keep them from clumping together the way that downy feathers do. I haven't tried out anything with larger feathers yet, and feathered jewelry isn't exactly new to the market. But I have a very extensive feather collection and as I figure it out I will let you know.
I would love some sheds from snakes. What type of snakes do you own? I am trying to keep a variety :)
