Question

How can I prepare to eat a poisonous snake?

Community Answer

The snake meat is not poisonous, just be wary of the head. If you buy the meat from a store, it should be headless. If not, make sure the snake has not bitten itself, as the teeth still hold venom after death. Always detach the head before skinning.

Question

Does this work with a king snake?

Community Answer

This method works for any snake. A king snake may be a little hard because of size variation.

Question

Can I cook snake in a healthier way?

Community Answer

Yes! Oven baked snake is delicious. Make sure you have a good amount of moisture, but don't drown the snake in liquid. I have found that seasoning is the key; I would suggest a good seasoned salt mixed with a bit of garlic powder and a generous portion of pepper. Finally, always go with a lower heat. I suggest 300 degrees F.

Question

Is there an easy way to get buckshot out of a snake when trying to cook it?

Community Answer

Not really. If you really want to make most of your snake meat, use different rounds like slugs in order to easily remove just 1 round.

We live near the Everglades and caught a nine-foot python. It's been skinned and gutted, cut into pieces, and now fills up the whole freezer. Will these instructions still apply?

Question

What would happen if I accidentally ate a piece snake that had been injected with snake venom?

Community Answer

It might be a good idea to go to the doctor, although I suspect that you would be fine.
