re: Rattle Snake pen

Damn Pottz... gotta give you "E" for effort! Pulled your R's out of the P 's and Q's with that cigar.

How'd you manage to keep that blank away from what is claimed as the global elements? I checked out my 15 YO blank,

that has not been subjected to a full vino impregnated "human" bladder.
I then dragged out my python, and compared a 2017 pickie with todays,

That yellowing (assuming UV) is worrysome.

BTW,  nothing worse than buggering up a snakeskin blank

too hard to find a matching Python (my snakeskin) replacement in my back yard to fix it... only found rattlesnakes and cobras with the local browns and tigers hiding in fear... how did I recover?.. I did, but I'm not here to teach😉😉😉.
