Definition
The shed outer layer of a snake's body, or a pattern or material designed to look like snake scales.
Etymology
Compound of 'snake' (from Old English 'snaca') and 'skin' (from Old Norse 'skinn'). Literal term for reptile hide, later applied to textile patterns and materials.
Kelly Says
Snakeskin is actually made of keratin—the exact same protein in your fingernails—and snakes shed their entire outer layer multiple times per year, which is why you can find complete shed skins in the wild.
