Nice snakes. Python skin is the traditional material used in building an erhu, the Chinese two-string fiddle. I build and play this instrument and could use a python skin. Any chance I could buy one? The larger the better? I can be contacted at mccullarwells@yahoo.com or frankmccullar@gmail.com.
Thanks.

His passion for snakes was love at first bite when a corn snake bit him when he was eight-years-old. A few years later he began snake hunting and has carried on for the past 27 years. Since then, he has become a licensed Florida python hunter and spends much of his free time removing the invasive pythons, tegus and other species from the region. His secret to his success? "Think like a snake if you want to find one." We have yet to find a road that he hasn't traveled or a territory that this South Florida native hasn't explored.

He grew up playing barefoot in the woods of Central Florida. "I was the kid who had to touch everything," He says, "Now when I see an animal, I feel like I have to get a hold of it." He's always been fascinated with animals & preferred watching nature shows over cartoons as a kid. Catching lizards has now grown into wrestling alligators & pythons. Bryan has a deep knowledge of Florida's native and invasive wildlife. He loves it & enjoys passing that passion on to his children. Bryan lives in the Everglades east of Naples, FL with his wife & four "active" kids. Bryan & Blake are brothers.
