Seems like snakes are everywhere these days, especially around here at Texana.TV and The Texana Review.
This video has been making the rounds lately, and I'm here to tell you, it's an attention-grabber.

Because those of us who tromp around the countryside for whatever reason - work or play - understand how a rattlesnake bite can ruin our day.
As it turns out (and is absolutely fine with me!), the Texas Indigo considers rattlesnake a delicacy, as you'll see in this short slideshow.
If you're squeamish, I suggest you NOT watch this!
