In 1986 my friend came back from cali with a few northerns .One by one they died he could of cared less.They all needed worming and were looseing weight fast.One by one they all died and he cared less.One day I looked in a barrel he used to burn trash and there were three frozen solid coiled snakes.So he put them there while they were alive.Later that afternoon I looked in there agin,they were no longer froze and were alive.Not dead as I thought.So I took them home panacured and flaygeld them they thrived.I gave them to a good friend a year later.A christmas gift.Move forward 2000 I opened a pet shop /rattlesnake museum, he gave me the large male to display .The two females had died in 1999.This snake is now on display in another museum 22 years later.A LIVE EXAMPLE OF A THROWAWAY SNAKE.So Karl is right a throw away snake is a bad idea.KEEP WHAT YOU WANT AND WANT WHAT YOU KEEP....ARCHIE

Anyone who takes animals from the wild and literally throws them away to die rather than responsibly giving them veterinary care has absolutely no business owning any animals. Cruelty and abandonment charges should have been brought, possibly along with public endangerment.
Here's to hoping that this sorry waste of space doesn't breed, and I don't mean snakes.

This reminds me of a story. I grew up in the NE and don't have the typical stories of catching great venomous reptiles as a kid. I did however always go after the frogs, newts, box turtles, and the like.
Working on a dairy farm, we started milking at 4:30 AM. This particular morning, the other farm-hand was bragging about the frog's legs we where having for lunch. This was kind of interesting, not a common food item for the area, and I felt comfortable with experimenting with the French cuisine.
At lunch, we had the fried legs prepared by the farmer's wife. I was satisfied with the culinary experiment and carried on with my duties. I was thirsty and went for a drink. The farm had one of those old pump style wells where you pull the handle up and down to get water. Under the spigot was a bucket. I looked in the bucket and saw a bunch of legless live frogs looking up at me. Their legs where in my tummy.
I will never forget this.

yoyoing: sadly, that is *EXACTLY* what happens to the millions of frogs that are caught for the frogs legs trade worldwide (mostly in SE Asia).
