Not a rhino, but you are on the right track - it is the skin of something...

Correct!! (In case a Mozambique Spitting Cobra - one of 6 I have removed from various buildings over the last few days - none of them less than 5 foot, none of them happy to be grabbed and translocated!)
Your go, Phil!

Just big enough! This guy was around 6 foot. For some reason when he was released he decided a tree was a good place to hide - did give me a chance to get a pic though! Don't like these guys much - they often stay hidden but send out a fine mist of venom towards you if they feel threatened. Several times each summer I have to treat the dogs for being spat in the eyes by them.

I much prefer boa constrictors - far more honest
