Yes, those are real snake vertebrae. Many of the older women wear them as hair adornments.
If only modern medicine could resolve so many ailments... But aren't the snake skins pretty cool?
By the way, we celebrated at our Glucose Clinic on Friday. Another snake oil was exposed. You may remember our friend who's blood sugar was over 350 and was trusting an herbal bio-enzyme to resolve his diabetes. Well time has passed and his health was not improving. He has decided to give up his franchise to sell the mixture and was earnestly talking with us about how he can control his diabetes.

EWWWWWWWW! I like using herbs and natural stuff, but the thought of getting oil out of a snake ~ EWWWWWWWW! Which is probably not even what it really is.
