Bloodhound Gloves | Snakebite

★ Bloodhound Gloves | Snakebite is a CS2 cosmetic for the fingerless Bloodhound Gloves. Its dark gray sections contrast with tan and brown snakeskin patterning, metal studs and a gold-colored Operation Bloodhound emblem. The earthy palette suits muted loadouts with a rugged, decorated look. It comes in Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred, without StatTrak™ or Souvenir editions.

Description

★ Bloodhound Gloves | Snakebite is a CS2 glove skin built around fingerless Bloodhound Gloves and a leather-and-snakeskin finish. The design contrasts dark gray sections with tan and brown patterning, giving it an earthy rather than brightly colored appearance. Gold-colored hardware and the Operation Bloodhound emblem add clear focal points across the backs. Triangular studs give the patterned areas a tougher, decorated look without replacing the underlying material texture. That palette suits players building brown, tan or dark neutral loadouts. The plainer palm offers a different view of the design from the more detailed back. Buyers can choose among the available exterior categories, then inspect individual floats and images to find the presentation they prefer. For a purchase or trade, comparing the actual gloves offered is more useful than choosing by the finish name alone.

History and Origin

★ Bloodhound Gloves | Snakebite was released on November 28, 2016, alongside the Glove Case. Its arrival was part of the Glove Case Skins update. Valve created the design rather than a community designer. The Operation Bloodhound emblem gives the gloves an operation-themed visual reference. The Operation Hydra Case is another source of this finish, separate from its original Glove Case release. Valve retired the rare drop pool on December 17, 2025, and neither source case receives new drops. Existing cases can still be purchased on the market and opened, so retirement did not remove that acquisition route. Current buyers can also obtain the gloves directly through marketplace listings or player-to-player trades rather than relying on a case result.

Finish Style

A mix of leather and snakeskin gives the finish its textured, earth-toned character. Dark gray panels frame tan and brown snakeskin-patterned areas on the backs of the gloves. The patterned material also wraps around the finger openings, emphasizing the fingerless construction. Muted orange-brown bands sit around the cuffs, bordered by dark edging. Round gold-colored fasteners provide small metallic accents along those cuff areas. A large gold-colored Operation Bloodhound emblem occupies a dark patch on the back. Small triangular studs surround that emblem and appear on the patterned areas near the fingers. The visible palm is mostly dark gray, with curved seams and creases instead of the back's dense patterning.

Float Value

The float value of ★ Bloodhound Gloves | Snakebite ranges from 0.06 to 0.80. Available exteriors are Factory New, Minimal Wear, Field-Tested, Well-Worn and Battle-Scarred. Neither StatTrak™ nor Souvenir versions exist, so those edition types are separate from the cosmetic condition represented by exterior and float.

Rarity and Popularity

Extraordinary is the rarity grade assigned to the Bloodhound Gloves' Snakebite finish. The chance of obtaining this finish from the Glove Case is 0.011%, making case opening an uncertain way to acquire it. Professional player DANK1NG owns the gloves, providing an example of ownership without establishing broader market demand.

Why it’s Popular:

• Tan snakeskin detailing for earth-toned loadouts

• Gold-colored Bloodhound emblem and triangular studs

• Fingerless shape with contrasting dark gray palms

• Exterior choices from Factory New to Battle-Scarred

Price Range

The live CS2 skin price range for ★ Bloodhound Gloves | Snakebite is $65.49 to $490.00. Exterior is a useful starting point when comparing listings, with Factory New through Battle-Scarred copies available. Check the exact float value alongside the exterior label, especially when choosing between listings in the same condition category. Neither a StatTrak nor a Souvenir edition is available, so those versions do not explain price differences. Buyers can compare asking prices and pictured condition, while sellers can use listings with matching exteriors as a practical reference.

How to Obtain

1. Buy Directly through Eneba Skins

One of the fastest and most straightforward options is to purchase skins directly through Eneba Skins. You can browse available CS2 skins, compare prices, and choose the items that best fit your budget.

2. Open a Weapon Case

Open either the Glove Case or Operation Hydra Case for a chance at Snakebite. Neither case receives new drops, but existing cases remain available to buy and open. The chance of receiving this finish from the Glove Case is 0.011%, so opening a case does not secure this item.

3. Buy on the Steam Community Market

The gloves can be bought directly on the Steam Community Market instead of obtained through a case opening. Compare the listed exterior and float when choosing a copy. A direct purchase lets buyers select the offered gloves rather than accept the uncertain outcome of opening either source case.

4. Trade with Other Players

Snakebite gloves can also be acquired through player-to-player trades. Before agreeing to a swap, check that the offer contains the correct finish, exterior and float, rather than valuing it by name alone.

Trading and Investment Considerations

Both source cases have stopped dropping, limiting fresh case supply without preventing existing cases from producing more gloves. Broader demand and resale speed remain uncertain, so professional ownership alone is not a basis for assuming an easy sale. When buying, selling or trading, compare the exterior and exact float against similar listings instead of treating every Snakebite copy as interchangeable.

Reasons it Holds Value

• No new drops for either source case

• Extraordinary rarity with low Glove Case odds

• Distinctive snakeskin, studs and Bloodhound detailing

• Professional ownership includes DANK1NG

The investment rating is medium: retired source cases and the Extraordinary grade support a cautious case for holding it. DANK1NG's ownership adds a professional-use example, but does not establish broad demand or a rising price trend. The main risk is uncertain resale demand while existing cases can still generate additional copies.
