snake shed skin regardless what its from ,wont hurt your daughter if she picks it up ...

A dead venomous snake or even python (she can get her hand caught on the teeth of a python ) can still be dangerous if played with ..so if you ever come across a dead one in your yard bury it .

You should always put a location down and a close up of the ventral scales for better IDing..
