No thanks....it was inhumane and he should be punished for torturing a critter.

Hmmmmmmm.... Unemployed from Tehachapi? ... Antlope Valley should be called "Tweeker Valley".

maybe so but Tehachapi, atop the mountains in Kern County, isn't what I'd consider part of the Antelope Valley in LA County.

That’s odd.

No mention of tweakers in this article: http://www.dailynews.com/news/ci_6323322

He could be in danger of contracting lung-worms.

Lung worms are known as Pentastomids. An inch long arthropod like parasite that is actually zoonic (can infect humans). Also known as a Tongue Worm or Lung Worm.

Just as it's a very bad idea to eat raw pork that you catch in the wild, it's also a bad idea to eat any snake meat that is not thoroughly cooked.

I hope somebody warns this fool.

oh, and yes, lung worms live in your lungs. If you kill them, then you have dead worms rotting in your lungs.

Don’t eat raw or undercooked rattlesnake.

I was contacted by the snake eater. He said he was unfamiliar with how FR works and asked me to post the whole story for him:

Hey Dan,
It was a Western diamondback 43” long.
Milked three times before taking it into the filming (some margine of safety).

It was killed first(neck snapped).

I did have my CA fishing tag.

I don’t swallow...unless it’s cooked.

If I had more than the 120 seconds offered I’d have bbq’d it.

No tweeking here.

17 years off grid in a remote cabin.

Loveley wife.

Excellent carreer in renewable energy.

Just get a little bored sometimes.

I hereby recant and apologize for my off-the-cuff remark about meth use. I'm sorry. I was wrong. He seems like a good guy.

I hope he gets on the show and if he does I might actually watch it. I was making a cheap joke based on the time I spend in Antelope Valley and its environs.

...asked me to post the whole story for him:

Thanks Dan. Good story.

Sounds like the kind of guy this Redneck would be happy to hoist a beer with, ya know?

Tell him so if you re-connect with him....:)

I know him well myself and encourage everyone to email CBS and let them know it’s time for a real survivor. If I were to be a part of the show he were cast for, I pray I would be on his team. GO RUSTY!!!
