The local ranchers would kill rattlers, skin & clean them & bring them to Sully who would put them in the freezer & make a snake salad (like tuna or chicken salad) and put a big bowl on the bar surrounded with crackers. It was delicious, & I always enjoyed it. Some other people who came in thought it was good too until they found out it was rattler.

I don't do anything when I see the non-venomous snakes (except that one time MattDavis came to visit and one was chilling between the front door and screen door. I don't know if the snake was surprised, but I was.)




But when I find a copperhead too near the house...

the most recent, he was a tiny fella hanging out in the driveway near the house one morning, so I took him across the street.



This was the previous one that I stepped on.
Sorry for the vertical video. I was trying to watch the snake that I was carrying, watch the ground for other snakes, and keep the phone/camera pointed at the snake.
