1. Kill the snake. Be sure you are allowed to kill your choice of snake in your state or country. Conservation laws vary, and you may be committing a crime if you kill a protected species.
2. Cut off the head - and tail - and safely dispose by burying or burning. If the species is venomous - or you don't know - take extra care at this stage not to injure yourself on the fangs: even when dead, the venom glands may still be active.
3. Skinning and tanning the skin:

4. Follow this guide (or google for others) for the belt-making.

a snake skin belt?
that's cruel, unless you eat the meat, then it's hunting, but seriously, their symbolism is so much more fantastic when they're alive, i hope it's not for fashion.
i'm working them into a tattoo...a king snake eating some sort of viper over the small of my back where kundalini resides. The symbolism of the king snake devouring the poisons that can come from what most snakes symbolized over the area the metaphysically rules my sexual and spiritual interests.
Why a belt?
Nina:
Quite an interesting tatt :)
