I am doing an article on rattlesnakes. This summer Momma and Mark discovered their first rattlesnakes. My uncle has a really neat rattlesnake skin mounted on his wall. I thought it would be fun to try to gross Momma out with rattlesnake stories.
Today we learned that rattlesnakes taste like bony greasy chicken.
There is something called Rattlesnake Roundups. People look for rattlesnakes and then they put them in a pit. They take the rattlesnakes and milk them and skin them and cook them. After “milking” the venom, they use it to make anti-venom somehow.
My Oma told me that my Great Grandfather got bitten by a rattlesnake while picking grapes. Oma thinks he sucked the venom out and then went into town to get checked. He was okay. I know that Oma killed a rattlesnake while babysitting her cousins. My uncle has an unique idea for rattlesnakes.
I was wondering if you have any stories about rattlesnakes? I would like some stories that are kind of funny about when you met a rattlesnake. Have you ever tried eating one?
There used to be a restaurant by the Detroit City Airport that the TV people, like Sonny Ellot (not spelled right), a weatherman used to go to that served rattlesnake.
