Killed a snake... What do you think it was?

Date sort Score sort
Not sure what snake it is since I live in a different area than you. However, I do know that whenever I kill a rattler on my property I cut it's head off, bury it somewhere underneath some rocks, then skin the body and eat it. The meat is pretty good (I have fried it up like chicken, yum), and the skins look beautiful if preserved properly.

Edit: However, I always give the snake a couple of hours after death to stop moving. Also, if you leave the head on it, it will still try to strike you during those few hours, so be careful in the future.

Lol I was scared to mention that.... Don't waste the meat ;)

Chickens will eat them too, but yeah, do make sure to cut the head off ;)

It tastes yummy! Don't waste the skin either, you can preserve it with a 50/50 blend of vegetable glycerin and rubbing alcohol, and it makes a great hatband, belt, wallet, etc. I'm one of those people that believes that if I kill something, I use all of it as long as it is healthy for me.
