Snake Survival Taxedermy 101

This is for the girls... There is a belt I'm going to make from the skin of a chicken snake. There is a story behind the belt... My mom told me there was a rattlesnake in the Turkey and Chicken coupe. She had a look on her face that said, "OH POOP!" I caught it in a hurry though it tried to scurry. After finding it eating one of my White Leghorns, leaving the others there to mourn. I tried moving it into a plastic bin. The snake being to tall to keep in. I had no choice his head to pin. I pinned it with a shovel against the wall. It's a good thing I didn't fall! I grabbed its body and threw it outside. That snake had one ride before it died. I feel bad about killing the snake. Though one of my Chickens it did take. This is what I did with the snake. Though it isn't a rattlesnake it isn't fake! In snake survival it is safe to say, one shouldn't throw a thing away! :)

Easter Eggs

My daughter and I made Easter eggs together. Here are the eggs we made...

Snake for dinner? :)

My mom discovered a snake in the chicken coupe. She came up to my place and told me about it so I went down to the coupe with a shovel. I noticed it was in with the chickens and turkeys eating one of my white leghorns. I tried to place it in a bin with the use of a shovel but the snake disagreed. It threw up my white leghorn and tried to make a run for it of course snakes don't have feet so it failed. I jammed its head against the inside of the coupe grabbed its tail and hurled it outside. I'm now one chicken short but on the upside, looks like snake for dinner and a new belt. If anyone feels like joining me feel free to contact me on Facebook. We'll have snake for dinner. Perhaps if you know of someone who might be able to turn it into a trophy for me that would be neat because I caught it with my hands and killed it myself. I feel bad about it though it did kill my chicken. My daddy is going to be so happy! He taught me how to catch things! :)
