Form question for rattler.

[duxdown]

I have a timber rattler to do and have a question for all you reptile guys. In looking for a form I see WDB forms, that size wise will fit perfect according to my measurements, are there differences say in head dimensions.. Other wise can I substitute a WDB form to put a timber rattler on. He is or she, 53" long 9" circ.

Thanks this will be my first one, not to many here in W. KY.

Never pay attention to the "species" listed when ordering a rattlesnake form.  Go by your measurements because all rattlesnake bodies are basically the same shape in form world. I have to alter the head on nearly every snake form I use whether it is listed for a specific species or not. Also, to make it a little more complicated a male and female snake differ in length from the vent to the rattle.

Timber heads are a bit flatter. Nothing a little sandpaper wont cure. The skin will dictate your modifications.
It very well may mount right up. Close enough for commercial work IMHO.

Thanks Guys I felt I could make it work ok, but since its my first snake I thought I would ask you guys that have done your fair share.
