Step 7Peel away
Once you've freed enough skin to act as a handle, put away the knife and do this the easy way.
Grip the snake body with one hand, the skin in the other, and pull gently but firmly until the skin separates. Use a paper towel if necessary to maintain a firm hold, and adjust your grip as you move down the body.
If the skin seems too delicate for this operation you can trim the whole thing off with your pocket knife, but it should work with most snakes.
You may need to make an additional slit to get the tail off, but try to leave it as intact as possible.
