I'll tell you how I've been doing it. Its simple and cheap.

I skin the snake and lay it flesh side up tacked out semi tight on a board. Not too tight because as it dries it shrinks.

Then cover the entire fleshy side in salt and lay it in the sun for a couple of days until it is dry.

Then you rinse it off and soak it in a mixture of 50% glycerin and 50% Rubbing alcohol over night. You can find glycerin at a pharmacy just ask for it.

Then take it out of the mixture rinse it off and let it air dry. The snakes I've done using this method had retained all their color and have remained soft and plyable for at least 3 years now.
