Tastes like chicken, but I bet a cottonmouth tastes like NY sewer rat

BBQ cottonmouth (snake) is best prepared by cleaning, skinning, and seasoning with a dry rub, then cooking low and slow to prevent it from becoming rubbery. Coiling the snake and wrapping it in foil with butter helps keep the lean meat moist while cooking until the internal temperature reaches 160 F.

Preparation and Cooking Steps:
  • Clean and Prep: Remove the head, skin, and entrails. Thoroughly wash the meat.
  • Season: Coat the snake meat with your favorite BBQ rub.
  • Coil and Wrap: Coil the snake to maintain moisture. Place it on foil, add butter for moisture, and seal it.
  • Cook: Cook slowly on a BBQ grill or smoker until the internal temperature reaches 160 F and the meat appears golden.

  • Finish: Remove from foil and, if desired, apply BBQ sauce to the meat for a final, short cook-time to let the sauce set.
  • Serving: The meat can be picked off the ribs or backbone, similar to frog legs or chicken.

Key Tips:
  • Moisture is Key: Because snake meat is very lean, it is crucial to use butter or a marinade to prevent it from drying out.
  • Slow Cooking: Avoid high, direct heat for long periods, which makes the meat tough.
  • Alternative Preparation: Some recipes suggest dipping in buttermilk, coating in a breading mixture (flour, cornmeal, spices), and frying, which can be done in conjunction with or instead of BBQing.

This one got too close to the grandkids playhouse

This happened during lunch break on a day that we were doing a 3 day license course for security officers. My son saw the snake, drew his SIG and blew the snake's head off with one shot. The class was on the porch of the classroom and he immediately got positive verbal critiques of his draw, form, and marksmanship. Just like I taught him, and them. It was a moment.
 
Okay, that's enough of this thread! Got the shivers with each photo...except for the worm. Snakes creep me the heck out, I'm not afraid of them if I can see them and hear them first though. The bull snakes we had in MT weren't poisonous, but really gave me the Willeys. I'd hear birds raising heck, and sure enough, there's a bull snake climbing a cottonwood tree, completely vertical on flat bark. How they stuck to the bark is beyond me. They find nests and chow down on the eggs or young. I helped my birds out when I could...took my machete and gave those nasties the Marie Antoinette treatment.
 
this one was not dangerous, except the fact it was in the tree next to me opening the gate to the lease and i didnt see it right away..i did see my wife frantically waving at me through the passenger window, then i turned around and was OH HELL< ...then i realized it was a friend

I spent years in Central America and I've seen my share of snakes. I don't kill them if I don't have to. And I have plenty here in the woods and water areas of our farm. But when a fat and deadly one comes up to the house where my 4-year old granddaughter was playing the day before, and where my dogs are, I'll relocate it to Hell.

Exactly. We like having cats around the place. They control the rodents which gives snakes less reason to come around. I would rather the snakes keep to themselves out in the woods but if it's a choice between dogs and grandkids and the snakes the snakes get the Gauge.
