Saw that earlier today and it left me with a question.  Did them old boys cut the innards out of that snake first?

When it raises up off the grill at the 1 min. mark it looks like the under side has been split.  The only times I've had it is after it's already been cooked so I'm not sure of the cleaning process.

Subtext during the vid says they skinned and gutted it.  When skinned correctly, the guts get pulled out at the same time.

Didn’t catch that.  Was too mesmerized watching the overall spectacle.

You perked my curiosity.

It's amazing how long the nerves keep firing and how strong the muscles are with no blood flow.

When I was a kid, we were coming off the mountain after a day of work. We ran over a rattler. Threw it in the back of the Bronco. A few miles down the road I mentioned it was still alive and striking. It was surreal.

There is a reason you cut a snake up in to small pieces.

Do they taste like chicken???  

I ran over a snake with a Uhaul truck one time, made a loud pop like a tire blowing out.  Snake didn't move after that .

Sharks are just about as bad. Even after hours in the box they still squirm when cleaning.

The cleaning video reminded me of this one:

Cleaning a perch in a hurry.
