August 17, 2008: Yucky Snake Guts

xoxoxoBruce · 08-17-2008, 02:02 AM

Hey, I warned ya.
Sometimes when you eliminate an immediate danger, you unknowingly eliminate a much larger potential danger.
Rattlesnakes, being Vipers, give birth to live young complete with fangs & venom, and ready to bite.

Yeah yeah, control rodents, part of the ecosystem, blah blah blah. So are muggers.

A whole Buffet !!!!!

That is a shame..

TheMercenary · 08-17-2008, 07:56 AM

Looks like about 18 baby snakes.

Griff · 08-17-2008, 08:30 AM

I'd go stir fry, but it looks like they're already on the griddle.

birdclaw · 08-17-2008, 08:43 AM

Holy crap. That just gave me a bad case of the willies. Having encountered a few snakes in my day I have a healthy respect (read fear) of all snakes.

Clodfobble · 08-17-2008, 09:15 AM

Wow. I didn't realize they had so many at once.

Griff · 08-17-2008, 09:19 AM

This reminds me of True Grit when the horse shooter from Texas ...

Thanks. I just added that to my NetFlix que.

Ya know come to think of it, those would come in very handy when cooking. When a recipe calls for something to be wrapped in bacon and secured with toothpicks...ta da! Built in toothpicks. I don't think they would be salty enough. May have to brine them first.

And these babies come with their own rattles, too.

FTR, I believe in live and let live when possible. Rattlesnakes at least attempt to warn you of their presence while muggers try to avoid detection.

I love that song. Can't help it, I do! Something about the "scarlet billows all around" strikes me as hilarious.

Yucky.
Reminds me of the Indiana Jones & the Temple of Doom scene with the baby eels.
Just about had me sick in my lap.
I don't remember when I left exactly - probably about the same time as Willie.

We have eaten them. Neighbor shot one a few years ago and I taught my Dau how to skin it, she was like 9. I have a great pic of her skinning them. They have to be cooked in a deep fry to taste decent. We tried to cook it on the grill, didn't work out so well. But you could certainly eat it if you were in a survival situation without a problem.

I will have to find those pics and post them. It was in 2002.
