There's also Filterforge that could be used to make a texture like this, demo will work for a month I think, if you do a search for leather or snake in the filters you should be able to find some that look somewhat like your example, here's one:
http://www.filterforge.com/filters/1173.html
In the examples of the filters it shows a variety of colors, but with most filters there are controls to change the colors to what you really want. On the one I'm showing you above it says there's also a control to increase or decrease the "wet/shiny" look. You'd just have to render your texture in filterforge, save it, open it in photoshop and turn it into a pattern to fill the area on your image where you want that texture.
