Your post made me curious so I looked into current prices. At the 2018 Rattlesnake Roundup, they paid as low as $1 / pound! And that was with a 7,000 lb total buying limit, which from other things I read is a fraction of what is available at the roundup.

I don't kill them unless they are around the house........

Heard they taste like chicken!

Tis the season for snakes.

Nice pic, but sure reminds of what’s around the corner.

Thanks for the pics.

We're going to Knox City area this coming weekend to chase pigs.

There are supposed to be tons of snakes out there.

It was too cold and windy when we went last year and only saw two little ones.

I'm hoping for a good showing this time.

I even bought a new snake hook / stick to help move the guys if needed.

Great picture.
I love snakes, but I hate getting near them suckers, scary.

Just a thought if you get bit, gonna cost between $30,000 to $100,000 for anti venom and ER stay depending on the bite.

"It’s about a $45,000 mistake to be bitten by a venomous snake in this country, and that’s if nothing goes wrong," said Daryl Sprout, of Snake Encounters, a DFW-based experience described as "The Ultimate Live Animal Show."
