The shedding process of snakes is a dynamic part of their life cycles. Healthy snakes shed their skin three or four times a year. The shedding skin is left to nature and is called shed snake skin. Shed snake skin have been used in the treatment of various diseases in folkloric medicine since ancient periods. In this study, it was aimed to determine the elemental content of shed snake skin used in papilloma treatment in Anatolian folkloric medicine. Method : In the present study, a total of 12 shed snake skins collected from the countryside of Kahramanmaras from the Dolichophis jugularis (N = 6) and Malpolon insignitus (n = 6) species were used. Shed snake skins were collected by Veli Sakalli in April-May 2017. The elemental content and the elemental concentrations of shed snake skins were determined using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Result: A total of 21 macro and microelement and concentrations were determined in the shed skins of both species. The difference between the concentrations of magnesium, titanium, manganese, iron, and nickel elements was found to be statistically significant among the species and no significant difference was observed between the other element concentrations. Discussion: As a result of the current study, it was thought that the shed skins of Dolichophis jugularis and Malpolon insignitus species used in the treatment of papilloma in Anatolian folkloric medicine has contents rich in elements and these contents may treat the papilloma by inactivating the virus causing the papilloma. The results have the potential to contribute to the synthesis of new drugs that can be used in the treatment of papilloma.
