    I was thinking of a Rob Roy style sporran with a snake skin flap.

    Gotta check out the Tandy Leather next time I'm in Louisville.

    Down here in Florida it's not uncommon to read of these things in the 12 foot range turning up in suburban neighborhoods. In the 'Glades there's a whole Park Service team devoted to nothing but snake hunting; down there, they're the apex predator, even eating the 'gators. They say that in the near future there'll be nothing down there but giant snakes.

    Yeah, I remember seeing the pic last year of one that tried to eat a gator down there & "blew up" in the process(!!)
