Indonesia's Snake Skin Industry

CIREBON, INDONESIA - MARCH 20: A dead python is tired to a wall after being skinned in a workshop for skinning snakes for sale to the garment industry on March 20, 2014 outside Cirebon, Indonesia. Small workshops scattered around West and Central Java, Indonesia process hundreds of snakes per day for the garment industry, which are then made into handbags shoes and other fashion accessories. Although the workshops exist primarily to process the skins, nothing goes to waste and the meat and other parts of the snake are exported for use in traditional medicines.(Photo by Ed Wray/Getty Images)
