snakeskin
Reptile's discarded covering
Snakeskin is the outer covering shed by snakes, or leather made from it.
The distinctive scaled pattern appears on fashion items—boots, belts, handbags: snakeskin cowboy boots.
The term also describes any material with that characteristic pattern: a snakeskin print dress.
