More specifically Giant Snake Skin, how would l go about sculpting that? Keep in mind I am not a sculptor… But I couldn't find an adequate "giant snake" for my games needs. Now I am wondering if there is a way to quickly sculpt snake skin. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Might look in the "cheap toy" stores first, might find something the right size.

Another option is to find some fabric or cheap knock off handbag or wallet of faux material.

After you find the appropriate fake skin you could dab some pva that drys clearish or add a bit of color if you want, and peal it off. That should have a suitable horrific reptilian effect.

There's some kind of stuff that makeup artist use that would probably work well too.

Are you sculpting a giant snakeskin, or skin on a giant snake?
