There is very little meat on a snake.
- chasd00 1y agoAlso lots and lots of bones. I’ve had rattlesnake before, it’s not bad (taste like chicken) but man so many bones.
- TylerE 1y agoYes, exactly. A snake is mostly bones and digestive tract. Almost no fat (they’re ambush predators and only eat every few weeks typically).
- metaphor 1y agoNot just any snake...these are Burmese pythons[1]. [1] https://youtu.be/0wXeRStcG6A?t=173 https://youtu.be/0wXeRStcG6A?t=173
- TylerE 1y agoYes, there’s still not much meat on them, and it’s not meats want to eat. Carnivore meat tends to be extremely gamey.
- metaphor 1y agoThe 9 footer in the video should weight around ~25 lbs, good for around 4-5 lbs of consumable meat...not a bad harvest considering level of effort to butcher relative to, say, deer. Acknowledged on the potential excessive human consumption hazard and gaminess, but I'd like to think it's still possible for one man's trash to be another's prospective opportunity.
