    I'm told that rattlesnake tastes like chicken but are any other North American snakes considered to be good eating?

    		basically all US snakes are edible. just cut off head peel skin, remove innards, rinse, fillet meat off bones, cook, enjoy.
    (nothing I'd want to do, unless VERY hungry)

    		From site:
    All snakes are edible; even the poisonous ones (the venom sacs are located directly behind the head, removing the head removes the venom sacs). The meat is fairly good but very bony, and yes they do taste a bit like chicken. Our forefathers probably ate more snakes than we care to think about.

    		There is a MAJOR difference between poisonous and venomous.
