    I would not recommend garter snake. They have nasty, self-defense secretions that i can't imagine tast good. Gophper snake makes a good substitute or addition, however.

    Freer was about 30-40 minutes away from Laredo (where I grew up.) Rattlesnake meat is interesting. It's pretty good. I've only had it as tacos. But I would imagine that in a Chili recipe it would be right at home.

    And a really big pit and lots of snakes and lots of noise. And lots of idiots playing with them in the pit and poking them. God what a creepy feeling but deep fried and all sorts of other ways being made, YUMMY!. Does not taste like chicken and it is good! We do have the eastern massasauga here (rattlesnake) different from the eastern timnber rattler (which is endangered in NY but probably tastes as good) and if someone wants to volunteer to catch a couple I will make them...after they have no heads that is.
