What can I say, you live in a slick town.

Hey, I brought up decapitation here on the LoT yesterday.

But that's okay, no one pays attention to me anyway.....

;)

Huh.... oh sorry I thought I heard someone :evil:

Any thread about head gets a lot of views around here...

Even if it is about losing it.........:eek: :D

We once had to decapitate a baby ratteler that ended up on our farm in Hilmar (it came out of a trailer we had brought from a house in the mountains). That thing was still snapping in the jar an hour later.

And Ally, there is no other way to do it. If you don't pin it it will strike. If you just let it go you won't ever know where it went and everyone, human and animal, will be in danger of being bitten. On a farm there are just too many places for a snake to hide.

Ewwwww.......

I heard chickens will run around with out their heads, do you put the heads in a jar and watch them cluck for an hour, too?? ;)

Ummm... No, but I did have to help clean the bird after.

We had the head in one jar and the body in another to take it to the fire dept to make sure it was really a ratteler. They weren't indigenous to the area and gopher snakes will imitate them when threatened and even grow buttons on their tails. This was before we had figured out where it came from.
