Indonesia's Snake Skin Industry

HARDJOSARI, INDONESIA - MARCH 22: Pak Kardi, a snake hunter attempts to return a python he is keeping at his house until it gets bigger at which point he will sell it to a workshop on March 22, 2014 in Hardjosari, Indonesia. Small workshops scattered around West and Central Java, Indonesia process hundreds of snakes per day for the garment industry, which are then made into handbags shoes and other fashion accessories. Although the workshops exist primarily to process the skins, nothing goes to waste and the meat and other parts of the snake are exported for use in traditional medicines.(Photo by Ed Wray/Getty Images)
