In some areas of the US of flipin A they do eat Rattle-snake. Once the head or the poison sac is removed, wheres the problem? You should try it.

I am no vegetarian but I think I would not try snake :shock:

At Curium in Cyprus they say there is a species of snake, which has similar power to that of the asp in Egypt, except that, if it bites in the winter, it produces no effect, whether from some other reason, or because when congealed with cold the reptile loses its power of movement, and becomes completely powerless, unless it be warmed.

I know its about snakes...

BUT, found this tarantula at work (hotel) in Ayia Napa. I asked the maintenance guy if they are a problem, he's said that they had an infestation about a year ago. We had 2 sightings so far.
