Ah - Febreeze! Excellent suggestion, Cecil! A light spray on both sides, I suppose. As I said, I would have used a commercial preparation in hindsight, and I know I should have come here first, but I think I actually got pretty good results, considering. I realize now that antifreeze is a mistake (why do they tell you to use it?), and I think I rescued it by sudsing all that off of it and then salting/oiling it. It really seems like a nice skin now, except for the aforementioned mild doggie smell. Perhaps I hit a lucky combination. I also see that salt is not recommended for snake skins. Do you think it will rot, Cecil? It seems plenty dry.
