how to decolour snake skin?
373291
firstly how do you mean? whilst the skin is still on ther snake, in which case through years of specific breeding probably with albino snakes, this would take a long time and depending on the type of snake yu wish to "decolur" may never be possible as in the case of the candy corn (elapes gutatta gutatta) only the lighter areas of pigmentation are lost the rest become a different colour which is lighter, if yu mean after the snake has shed its skin it sould not have any colour anywat as the skin is shed in scales which only form a hard keratin cap over the coloured part of the scale and are clear when they leave the snake.\n\nI say enjoy snakesin all thier diversity but if you want a white or albino snake talk to a pet shop ower who may be able to offer advi=ce or sell you an decoloured snake

remove outer skin, peel of a layer, pulverise it in a pestle and mortar, actually look at the website, its a really good explanation!

If you open it up, then put a lot of peroxide on it.  It'll foam up a bit, then dab it dry with some toilet paper or something and put Neosporin on it.  It should be gone a few days if you do that every day.

You can remove the tarnish with baking soda, metalic aluminum, and water. The aluminum combines with the sulphur compounds in tarnish (silver sulfide) to form aluminum sulfide, leaving the silver clean. \n\nSilver polishes buff the tarnish off of the silver, leaving a thinner layer on the object. This method keeps the original silver in place.\n\nhttp://scifun.chem.wisc.edu/HOMEEXPTS/TARNISH.html

Only thing you can do to guarantee the removal ... and you arn't going to like this answer ... is to remove ALL the mycelium and spores from the vivarium.  That is nearly impossible, as even if you remove ALL the substratum, it is likely that spores will still be on the snakes, which will then reintroduce the fungus to the vivarium once you put new substrate in it.  \n\nI guess you can start by removing the coconut fibers and putting something else in.  Fungi prefer specific substrates, and this one might just thrive off the coconut fibers.  The problem is that the fungus could be coming WITH your coconut substrate from the manufacturer.  You might want to call them to see if anyone else is having the problem.  \n\nTough problem but good luck!

I did it with the thread trick. Instead of cutting, you tie it tight, and leave it on. The skin dies, and drops off. However, this may not be your first choice in an area that can be seen, like the face. For that, I would go to the professional.

Combine two tablespoons vegetable oil with one teaspoon salt.  Use this to massage the snake.  If swelling persists, add an additional teaspoon of salt.  Hope this helps.

Put it in a large-hole mesh bag, and bury it. The microorganisms in the soil that would naturally take the meat off if it was left there would decompose the tissue. Place rocks on top of the buried carcass so that animals won't smell it and dig it up. Leave it there for about a month, then dig it up and it should be fairly meat-free. Then I'd suggest sun-bleaching it and sanitizing it.

Use a mild hand or dish soap. Just make sure you rinse them very well, to get rid of any soar residue. Also it is better to let them drip dry, if you use a towel you will end up with fuzzes all over them.

get a pumice stone and rub it over your feet while in the shower. It helps remove dead skin. It will eventually soften the callouse but it will take more than one using. There are also callouse removers available that look like a small bandage that you place on top of the callouse. It has a medicine in it that helps the dead skin dissolve

An acid dip will do it. The problem being that the acid will eat the zinc too.  SO, use a dilute acid, such as muriatic. Which is dilute hydrochloric acid.  Nitric, and phosphoric acid would also work. Make sure you don't use a concentrated acid, as it is not needed, and can be quite dangerous.  There is a good chance that a commercial AC coil cleaning solution (inhibited dilute phosphoric I believe) would do the job.  Once the copper is removed, make sure to use tongs to remove the penny, and then rinse it well to stop the action of the acid.

The skin is covered in scales. Most snakes use specialized belly scales to move, gripping surfaces. The body scales may be smooth, keeled, or granular. Their eyelids are transparent "spectacle" scales which remain permanently closed. They shed their skin periodically. Unlike other reptiles, this is done in one piece, like pulling off a sock. It is thought that the primary purpose of this is to remove external parasites. This periodic renewal has led to the snake being a symbol of healing and medicine, as pictured in the Rod of Asclepius. In "advanced" (Caenophidian) snakes, the broad belly scales and rows of dorsal scales correspond to the vertebrae, allowing scientists to count the vertebrae without dissection. If there is not enough humidity in the air while snakes are shedding their skin, it can be very dangerous for the snake, because the dry skin does not shed. Skin that remains attached to the snake can harbour diseases and parasites. A tail tip that is not removed can constrict as the snake grows, cutting off the blood supply to the end of the tail causing it to drop off. A retained spectacle can cause the snake to become blind in the affected eye.

Alcohol on a cotton ball and scrub, scrub away. It usually works. If not then nail file and scrap the skin...EASILY and that will definitely do it! Don't wear those shoes anymore!
