ummm.....tasty

Or at least the guy on a PBS show last night would think so. He harvests snakes from a river and sells them as food. Tough job because cobras also swim in his river.

Don't you think a classic hihooded jeep deserves a better place to live than a serpentarium? Ya'll bring those slithery dees up tomOregon so we can feed them some nice fat nutria.

I notice he didn't use a measuring spoon for the bourbon

I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse, but we don't get rattle snakes in this neck of the woods. But now I feel like I need to find one.

Is that like a musk rat or something?

It's a dang South American rat. We have them in the South and they were fine there with crocs & gators lapping them up. Then a couple fools imported them to the Northwest to raise them for fur.

WTF???

fur? What woman wants a rat coat? They went broke and turned the nutria loose where they have few predators.

Nutria are extremely nocturnal, like swampy areas and can be a difficult creature to hunt.
