Here goes!
I have a rattlesnake skin that has no rattles or head; otherwise, it's complete. It has been skinned in the typical fashion...that is, split down the belly, and then "unwrapped" from the body. Over the years (since the rattler donated the hide) it has become brittle and fragile.
The advice I'm looking for is this. What type of common household product can I use to soften up the skin? Is vegetable oil ok? Thanks to any and all responses.
