Comment on I’m watching something on tv and a dude strangled another dude with rattle snake. Is that possible? What’s the tensile strength of a snake?

  I was actually made leather belts for 15 years. A little ship in Kissimmee Florida. I had never worked with snake skin though. Only cow, water buffalo, goat, nothing exotic.

  I did have snake skin boots and know the scales fall off when kids rub them the wrong way, and I know it’s almost impossible to find a size 12 that doesn’t have a big seem running down the side. Like when someone is a size 70 and wants a single peice leather cow belt. My foot is wider than the snake was. Not much can be done.
