Python skin is used to make clothing, such as vests, belts, boots and shoes, or fashion accessories such as handbags. It may also be stretched and formed as the sound board of some string musical instruments, such as the [[erhu]] spike-fiddle, [[sanxian]] and the [[sanshin]] lutes.<ref name="asovivasanshin.com">{{Cite web |url=http://www.asovivasanshin.com/introduction.html |title=About Sanshin: Introduction to the asian banjo - the Okinawan sanshin |access-date=2015-04-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160821200923/http://www.asovivasanshin.com/introduction.html |archive-date=2016-08-21 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
With a high demand of snake skin in the current fashion industry, countries in Africa and Southern Asia partake in the legal and illegal selling of python skin.
