The actual mutation can be found in the underground mines. You'll want to bring a source of light with you, as the second floor of the mines is pitch black. Directions! Follow the road out of the south of slagtown west. Go nw along the bridge in the chemical plant, head southwest through Edith's yard, and west across the abandoned highway. This will put in the village of Lurleen. Head west out of the town and follow the path until you see a cliff to your north.
 
You have two options here, both are somewhat dangerous. If you climb up, you'll be going through the main entrance to the mines. It's a little longer and requires a pretty long climb, but you won't run into yetis. Head through the mines, trying to head north as much as you can, until you see a down stairwell. Switch on your light and head down. Use lmap to find the river.
 
Alternatively, you can continue following the path until you come to the washed out bridge. Climb down into the river and follow it to the waterfall, you'll know it when you go over it. From there, follow the path of 'V's until you come to the mines. Be sure to check ahead of you for yetis, odds are if you're going after this mut you probably aren't ready to take them yet. Head nw, checking lmap every now and then until you come to the river. Watch out for chukkas, as they're hostile, and if you see a group of chumans don't approach.
 
Once you've reached the river by either route, follow it to almost the end. Check lmap along the way to get an overview of the surrounding area, paying attention to the tunnel to the east. See that little offshoot to the west halfway down? That's your target. This is the most dangerous part, as the spiders here are somewhat dangerous (compared to the earlier creatures in the mines) and hostile. Get to that room by whatever method you like, be it speed running or killing the spiders and climb down the 30m rope.

Snakeskin is a soak mutation which gives resistance against slash and stab damage. Prequisite for Eelskin. This mutation is not popular, and is generally regarded as having low utility.

Location

Snakeskin is at the very northern end of the Mall, past a ton of hostile zombies, which can be dangerous to low-level and unprepared players. The mutation is on the Men's Department tile, to the west the clothing store.

Effects

This mutation grants: 

    +2-4 slash resistance
    +1-3 stab resistance

Advantages

  • Slash/stab soak. These two damage types are the most frequent in PvE by a huge margin.
  • Useful to zombies, who do not innately soak either damage type.

Disadvantages

  • Superfluous. Slash and stab are very easy to soak, thanks to robust leech-hide armor and top-end exosuit/deathgear combos. Incoming slash and stab is never high enough to warrant taking a mutation to soak it, and unlike High Density, no mutations have innate slash/stab penalties.

Appearance

This mutation adds the following line to a character's description: 

She/he has patches of scales on his/her skin.
