The (New) Definitive Exotic Hide Identification Thread

[rach2jlc]

Years ago, we had a good thread going on how to identify exotic hides. Picture links have died, members have moved on, etc. but the need for info remains! Feel free to add and let's post our goodies. Here are a few to get us started:

Python:

Croc Niloticus (head and belly):

Ostrich and Croc (top of skin):

Walrus (Trichecco):

Ring Lizard:

It's definitely walrus; it looks different from "beefier" walrus because of the hair follicles; my guess is they used a different part of the hide than traditional walrus pieces.
