I’ve had fresh rattler before. Reminded me of tough chicken.

I`ve never been around pythons much,but

I bet they`re like a gator.They can move

fast when they want to.

Lucky man to back among the living.

They are not imported. All of these big snakes are captive bred. Many of them require special permits. The shop owner was in full compliance, presumably, but let matters get out of hand by trying to handle the beast.

[Louis Foxwell]

Nice analogy. But obama is a real snake whose bite has poisoned the nation.

[Louis Foxwell]

Yes, delicious. Tastes like python.

I had a 5 ft Burmese python. It was donated to friends after a feeding incident. My wife dangled a mouse by the tail into the terrarium. The snake latched onto her hand over the bottom of her thumb joint with teeth buried in the fleshy web on the top and palm sides. The snake also had a coil over the edge of the terrarium. I lifted the snake and terrarium to the bed, remove the coil off the terrarium, then off my wife's arm and finally backed the teeth out of her skin. A semi-circle of white tooth punctures remained. Little blood drawn. Our pet "Monty" had a new home the next day.

I guess if you’re desperate, you *could* eat snake meat. -
Husband has killed many rattlesnakes & copperheads out
here. One that he killed had crawled under our car. He
got out of the car & whacked it. Then he started looking
at the snake like it *could* be dinner. I told him, “NO!
Forget it! Put that thing in my freezer when H-E-double
hockey sticks freezes over!” - The buzzards get what snakes
we kill out here. - Me:Zero Husband: About 30 in 30 years
We also have a big snake dog with huge “dew claws”. Momma
always said dogs with big dew claws would kill snakes &
so far, it’s true.

I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor,

I'm being swallowed by a boa constrictor
And I don't like it very much.

Oh no, oh no, he swallowed my toe, he swallowed my toe
Oh gee oh gee, he's up to my knee, he's up to my knee,

etc.

I listened to too much Raffi back when the kids were little.

I read this, took a peek and discovered a distinct lack of sand in my vagina.

YMMV.
