I’ve seen python, rattlesnake, water snake, and a few other types of snake skins out there but don’t really know the difference between them besides the different patterns. Even then rattlesnakes sometimes have a different pattern to them depending whether it’s the belly or back?

I’m looking to purchase a new pair of boots in snake skins but don’t really know what to look out for to really appreciate the boot fully.

are some snakes more expensive than others? Depending on their patterns?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just got some pre owned boots that are steerhide as compared to cowhide or other leather.
Curious if anyone can speak to their experiences with owning and wearing boots of steerhide?
AI claims it is thicker and sturdier than cowhide, and may patina differently?

Thanks.
