This cane is made with a real rattlesnake head and skins. The head is closed-mouthed and the skin is coated in resin.
Please note: The snakes are rounded up each year as they are a physical danger to both the public and livestock. They are humanely killed and everything is used: the venom goes to making anti-venom; the meat is eaten; the hides are used for leather to make wallets, hats, boots; and the heads and tails are used for crafts, jewelry, and decoration. As long as people insist on living in rattlesnake habitat, the rattlesnakes will be removed from their areas.
Texas Western diamondback rattlesnakes are not endangered and are not subject to CITES controls.
None of our rattlesnake products come from California or Oregon.
A U.S. Fish & Wildlife permit is required for shipments outside of the United States.
