I've had the snake in Texas. They have a rattlesnake round up every spring in Sweetwater, Texas. My brother used to cook the snake when he lived in Arizona years ago. He's a freak, though. He would go into the desert and catch rattlesnakes, tarantulas and scorpions. He would skin the snakes and make hat bands with the skin and cook the meat. The tarantulas, he sold to local pet shops. The scorpions, he dipped in silver or whatever and made jewelry.I think it was only about 2' long. I tried rattlesnake sasuage when I was up in Montana It was pretty good. The buffalo sasuage was much better though.
