Has anyone seen the limited edition red tote with black snake trim? It sells for 3950.00. I'm thinking about getting it but would like your opinion if you have seen it in person.

What is Ayers snake anyway? Is it the Western Brown Tree Snake (Pseudonaja nuchalis) in Australia that lives near Ayer's Rock? Any herpetology geeks in our forum?

I've seen this, too, and it's beautiful. If you look inside the folds, the leather goes all the way inside as well.

I love the bag BTW, but it bugs me that it is called Ayers. There is no "Ayers" snake. Maybe Bryan can find out for us. Oh....dear Bryan? What species of snake is used here?

From our merchandising manuals, Ayers is fresh water snake from Indonesia.

That's all I got, haha...

Hope this helps!

^ Thanks! Did some research and I believe it is Acrochordus javanicus. Literature says it is a snake that is EASILY AGGRAVATED. Ha ha!
