#I was laughing about this flavor text to a gamer friend and I... don't think she understood why armor from skin sheds wouldn't work?

Sooo does someone want to explain to Larian how snake sheds work, or should I?

#derpetology
#but honestly multiple conversations lately have made me question whether it's common knowledge how skin shedding works
#like... you understand they're only shedding the dead outer layer of the epidermis - right?
#not their entire dermis
#and that leather is made using the dermis?
#you know... the thick part... above the subcutaneous fatty layer that separates skin from muscle?
#I was laughing about this flavor text to a gamer friend and I... don't think she understood why armor from skin sheds wouldn't work?
#there was even this person in a FORAGING GROUP who swore that rattlesnake sheds are black. Because she owns one and it's black.
#sweetie. you own a rattlesnake HIDE. that is LEATHER. the snake did not naturally shed its skin with full scales attached
#somebody SKINNED it
#*facepalm*
#(in case it really isn't common knowledge - a shed snake skin is tissue-thin crispy and transparent like rice paper.)
#(MAYBE you could make armor with it if you glued hundreds of layers together like a linothorax....?)
