How's the view???........

[satellitedriver]

Thanks for the lesson Sat, I have seen things on Tv that have confused me, but you cleared it up very nicely. I have never tasted snake, what does it compare to? Is it mild, gamey, or slippery...lol

It tastes like skinless chicken breast, just a white meat that needs seasoning.

Yep, I had some rattlesnake in Texas a few years back. It was ok. It didn't compare to the hog that was slow cooked over mesquite though. Those Texans know how to BBQ. Best thing in the world!!!

Thanks Fethahs....now I am quite ill......!

 

[fethrs]

No problem Ovah! Anytime!

 

[bigbrownhen]

Ha Upstate, I meant how, not who, funny. Although, in Texas, both could work depending of your definition of BBQ.

 

[fethrs]

I REALLY hate snakes!

For some strange reason that is good to know and it gives me some comfort.

]I know a few "who's" I like to BBQ.
Like the lady said in the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes",
"The secret is in the sauce."

 

[fethrs]

What was in the sauce, they never said, but we all know....

 

[EmerCond421]

Soylent Green, perhaps?

Stug, do you know snakes? I mean how you can tell if one is poisonous or not?

[-]Poisonous[/-] Venomous snakes have triangular shaped heads. This baby is a small Black Racer, that are very common here in Florida.

Fet,
I am not picking on you, but there is no such thing as a poisonous snake.
-( weird pet peeve of mine)-
Snakes come in two classes, venomous or non-venomous.
In North America there are only four you have to worry about and each are easily recognizable.
Moccasin, Copperhead, Rattler and Coral.
Very few people die from venomous snake bites-(hurts like hell, yes!)- in North America.
Years back it was 10, or less, people a year.
On a good note, all snakes are edible.
-(and taste like chicken)-
So if one bites you, kill it and eat it and have the last laugh.

LOL, I'll pass.

Let's not forget to add Yucky to your list.

The other, other, white meat?

That is funny,
but you have to be old enough to catch the punch line.

Fet, It's fairly simple to tell the difference between venomous and non-venomous snakes. Venomous snakes will have a triangular shaped head (to accomodate the fangs) and non-venomous snakes will have a slender, narrow head (as in Stephens pic).

We have blue and red racers.

The view on my way home from work. This was on top of the Roosevelt bridge in Stuart, Fl.

 

[EmerCond421]

Steve, I'll raise you a rattler! (on route Friday)

Didn't look so good after I left.

(Hopefully these pics come thru)

Sweet picture. I guess I'll have to find something to one up you now.

This is good to know! Nice explanation.

This is good to know! Nice explanation.

And not all venomous snakes have rattlers. Coral snakes come to mind first. The rule for coral snakes - if red touches yellow, kill a fellow.
