Rest assured all of our skins are as legal as they come.
Choosing the Right Python Cut
There are two different cuts of python available in today's marketplace; front cut and back cut. The back or front incisions made when opening the skin determine the cut. The production of front vs. back is based on market demand and feedback from past orders. Today, more back cut skins are in demand. There is no quality difference; only personal taste and preference.
Front Cut skins will have a diamond effect. If the skins are not bleached prior to tanning, the main center scale is off to the sides. Popular uses are belts, boots, and small leather goods and furniture.
Back Cut skins will have the underneath scale in the center. If not bleached prior to tanning, the diamond effect is off to the side. These cuts are also referred to as belly skins and are more popular in high fashion and dominate the handbag industry with their 3 dimensional look.
Bleaching vs. Non-Bleached
The Bleaching process removes the natural markings commonly known as the diamond effect. This is determined once the skins have been harvested and preparing for the per-color or the crust stage. Both styles are equally available. Depending on your preferences and the desire for uniqueness within the target market, determine if you would like a transparent natural marking embedded below the color you choose.
Glazed vs. Matte
Glazed skins are also referred to as shiny. Matte skins don't have a glaze and can also be customized to garment grade by adding more oil during the final stages of tanning for a modest surcharge.
Python Pricing
The more mature the python becomes prior to harvest means the wider and longer the actual skin will be. The basic rule of pricing is calculated by the input or food consumption prior to harvest. During the final stage food consumption goes up as the animal requires more input or food to maintain and grow larger. In our industry we measure from the widest point of the skin across in CM. 2.54 CM equals 1 inch. We use the metric system as our universal system of measuring.
About Pythons
According to ancient Greek mythology, a large serpent began killing people and their cattle in the ancient city of Delphi. The Greek god Apollo (Mercury in Roman mythology), when he was only five days old, killed the great serpent with his arrows. When it was discovered that the Python is one of the largest snakes found in nature, it was only appropriate that the species was named after the ancient serpent from Greek mythology.
Pythons live in southeastern Asia, the East Indies, Africa and Australia. Pythons live in rugged tropical regions that have heavy rainfall and forests, or low dense vegetation. Almost every species swims and climbs well. The reticulated python of southeastern Asia and the East Indies, and the African Rock Python may grow up to thirty feet in length. Only the giant Anaconda of South America is longer. The Amethystine Python of Australia and the East Indies and the Indian Python of southeastern Asia grow about twenty feet long. All Pythons hatch from eggs and the number of eggs varies with some species laying as many as a hundred at a time.
