When I was seven or eight, I found a beautiful gopher snake while on an Easter egg hunt. Best find of the day, IMHO and I kept it for a year or two.
I do not like venomous snakes very much, especially near my home, family or livestock. After the little bastards get you, all the shotgun shooting and shovel whacking into little pieces is too late.
Eating BBQ rattlesnake is OK, but the down-the-gullet whole thing approach seems unappetizing to the max.
Does anyone know when eating look-alikes becomes cannibalism?
Cats seldom eat cats, or dogs dogs.
Are rat and king snakes far enough separated to make them fair game, so to speak? Or is it in the nature of the serpent?
