How to skin and prepare a rattlesnake
Image Story: 

It might seem odd to start a recipe with "I don't recommend killing rattlesnakes," but that's how this one starts. I like rattlesnakes. I'll even go out of my way to leave them alone to go about their lives. But I'm also a realist. I know there are places where rattlesnakes and kids or pets don't need to share a space. And I know that many get killed each year.

Adhering to my "don't kill it if you aren't going to use it" theory on things, anytime I hear a friend or neighbor has taken a rattlesnake, I'll skin it out and cook it up. They are surprisingly tasty. Most importantly, it is safety first when dealing with a venomous snake. They can still bite, even after they are dead. Use a long handled tool to remove the head before handling the snake.
