Python leather is the most common snake leather type. Various objects are made from python leather. Many Python species are protected species. Python leather comes partly from breeding farms and the skin has a sufficiently large surface, to produce leather objects from it.

The spectacle cobra has the typical mark on the back of the head, reminiscent of glasses. The coloration of the skin is usually brownish.

Leather and imitation leather with snake leather embossing

Snake leather leather care
Due to the shed structure, special care must be taken when cleaning and caring for snakeskins. The sheds often roll and lift up with time and can not be glued back down. However, improper handling can worsen this effect. Never wipe against the shed direction when cleaning and caring!
