The 2 western diamondbacks are going to be eaten next spring at our 6th annual getogether. Yum Yum!!
I have a hatband and 2 belts with eastern d'back hides on them.
Have several whole snakes and several hides in the freezer.
Used to kill all snakes that I came across but now will seldom bother a nonpoisonus snake BUT rattlers, cottonmouths, copperheads, and coral snakes had best not let me see em.
I do have a less than 1 year old timber rattler in an aquarium at my friend's gunsmith shop. Sam is our night time security---but kinda hard to find in the morning sometimes.
