snakeskin
Snakeskin may either refer to the shed skin of a living snake after moulting or to a type of leather that is made from the hide of a dead snake.
== Shed skin ==
The moulting of the skin occurs regularly, when old skin is outgrown. In the case of snakes, it is called ''shedding'' or ''ecdysis''. Snakes will rub against rough surfaces to shed their skin. A shed skin is much longer than the snake that shed it, as the skin covers the top and bottom of each scale. If the skin is shed intact, each scale is unwrapped on the top and bottom side of the scale which almost doubles the length of the shed skin. While a snake is in the process of shedding the skin over its eye may become milky. This impairs the vision of the snake and as a result most snakes will become more aggressive because the snake feels more vulnerable.
