If it had been more orange it would have been an easy pick.
I’ve heard it is the finest reptile skin- I’m not saying it is, but I’ve heard that..the best in the world.
I’ve known many reptiles, they love me- I even have reptiles as shoes and belts. I have several working for me at my hotels- but they say- I love this guy- he would never skin me. Covfefe

I think that I’m going to go with teju lizard as well. I have two watches with teju straps. Beautiful material and very, very durable.

Alligator Lizard, Belly cut

James Leddy, bookmaker with Evelyn Green famous Flame Stitch upper.

durable because it dragged the ground plus flexible due to breathing.

Gosh. That’s almost as bad as what some guy was wearing on Talking Watches.

Good day dear members.
I’ve always wondered what was inside this skin? It is roughly 14 inches long

Ok - I admit it you found my lost weekend outfit boxers!

I thought you looked familiar!

They cut a better dash than Jeff G in his Prada. Maybe he will grow into it (sorry for the leather thread drift / normal watch strap service to be resumed shortly - or in about 14’’)
Have we guessed what it is yet by the way?

Alligator Lizard not alligator, just to be clear

Thanks everyone! I am quite certain it is either Alligator lizard - looks a lot like those beautiful boots. or the Teju - also a possibility. I knew nothing about these two species so this was a fun opportunity. I also think that @Canuck and MBob need to get their eyes checked, and that @Omegafanman and @JwRosenthal are rascals.

Rows are not uniform and straight on the Teju lizard skin like your example, IMHO.



NFL footballs used pigskin, at one time...but now cowhide.
