My parents own a rental home.  About 10 years ago, a renter moved out and left a rattlesnake in the freezer and some mounted ones positioned in strike poses behind cabinet doors and other places designed to scare us.  Every door we opened we opened slowly.

Oh,  you meant that mounted. I was thinking how and why you’d want to do the other mounting

Greg Tubbs at Tubbs Taxidermy East Wenatchee has one in his shop, think he has a freeze dryer too.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Freeze drying or replica is the best way for snakes to be done.
