MDM's 1st Pair of Exotic - I need your opinion...

[MDM]

I've always stayed away from snake skin because I have the impression the material is very high maintenance. I'm hoping you ladies can help me make up my mind whether I should keep these or return them.

I know there are products that can help with this, but I'm still worried.

1. That it will curl up, peel off, fade, etc...
2. Those of you who own snake skin, how hard is it to maintain it?

it looks gorgeous. in my opinion, exotic skin is easier to maintain than light suede and satin.

i just use apple garde conditioner and rain & stain repellent. i know bick 4 is also good but i have never tried it before.

They are lovely. I felt exactly the same when I got my one pair of exotics and I found lots of good advice here

Didn't stop me worrying, but it helped

They're stunning!! I use apple garde conditioner on all my exotics - it'll smooth out any scales that have curled and keep the skin soft Congrats!!

Carlinha, Chins, CCKL - Thank you for your kind words and invaluable input.

I think you should keep them- they look great on you!


To care for my python Jaws, I use some Bick 4 about once every 3-4 months. Depending on how often you wear yours, condition them more or less as you see fit

OOOOOooohhhhh!! They're beautiful!!! Keeeeeeep them! They're not hard to maintain, just put some conditioner on them now and again. It's just like lotion. Put a little on your hands and smooth it on.
