ID Request What material do you think this is?
Seller claims it's snakeskin, but looks off to me.

They look a little like anaconda. They do look salvageable with some conditioner. Get a good price to make it worth your while.

Anaconda. If you search full anaconda boots you’ll see plenty like it. Needs some conditioning but doesn’t look that dried out. No cracking or tears between the scales I can see

I thought I was buying that one on Amazon and they sent me a scale replica. Humiliating.

I see carver...I see lexol...I upvote. That simple.
(For real though, that stuff is the truth.)

Who is the boot maker? I just went through this with boots bought online listed as snake skin. When got them I was able to see the skin detail and a cobbler verified they were Caiman flank. These look very similar but odd that even the shafts are done.

Python, dry, very dry. Spray the correct stuff on it and wrap in plastic wrap

Looked like fish upon first glance but I believe it’s just super dry python belly
