I had a friend once ( now deceased) who made wallets, hatbands, belts etc. from his skins. His method was a combo of glycerine, and denatured alcohol on about a 50/50 mix. He would soak them in large jars until ready to work with. You can also buy a commercial snake tan kit thru some taxidermy suppliers. Hope this helps.
