[QUOTE="NomDeBoom, post: 3793272, member: 50898"] That's a biggun, a'rightt! What most people don't consider is that the skins do tend to stretch out a bit, or when you hold up a dead one, the spine relaxes & they tend get a little longer too. But; big snake (by any measure)! Thankfully; (??)One of those critters gave me a Lifetime excuse to type badly, as my favorite 'flipper' finger is still a 'bit' numb after all these years. I used to mess with 'em, but the '3rd X's the charm'...(long story, abrupt ending). 20 vials of anti-nip, but I still let the li'l feller go...'tweren't his fault :-} To tan/// very carefully remove any flesh from hide with a dull (old butter knife?) tool, being very careful not to tear a hole. Turn flesh side up, stretch lightly & tack (not TOO tightly)...to a long board, like ply-wood, & brush on the 50/50 mix of alcohol & glycerin...for a few days. You'll know when it's 'done'. To Cook///Cooks up more like frog legs, or lean chicken legs. Can get a tad tough, so don't overcook. I once fed my young son Nopalitos (Prickly Pear Cactus) & Rhombus (<>)-Back fillet for breakfast, & told him to tell his teacher that he 'ate rattlesnake & cactus for breakfast & now he's ready to kick butt'... Another time we had a caviar omelet, & I told him to tell his teacher that he had an omelet made from 'thousands of eggs' for breakfast" .... Hey; I was too old to mess with my own teachers any more, but I did what I could. He grew up just fine (an Outlaw)- & now he manages some very high end restaurants. P S- Congratulations on using your rattle-y resource respectfully. You'll learn a new craft, & expand your culinary skills. As a total A-Hole once said: 'Never let a good opportunity go to waste'. .....Even broken clocks... [/QUOTE]
