I know where my sisters purse was made now.It is a 100% Blood Python skin-lined purse.:machinegun: Wild Bill 01-01-2010, 02:22 PM There are people that say the same thing about rabbits, deer, raccoons etc. Just a different region, different animal. :dunno: jknudson 01-01-2010, 02:28 PM Just like this.... not for the weak of heart...

YouTube- Bryan Christy on Assignment: Reptile Slaughterhouse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukp8cBitHTo) Man they were skinning up all kinds of stuff! wow.... bamasmith 01-01-2010, 07:43 PM I understand the purpose for doing it. I just hate to see it. And I will be the first to admit that the 3 pounds of Deer meat I have in the freezer makes my mouth water. 147BOAS 01-04-2010, 04:06 AM It is no different from any other animal, I've done it to snakes in the past for the beetle albeit mine died from other causes but if I lived in an area where they are as accessible as are rabbits, raccoon and deer are here I probably would use them just as I did the local stuff for the beetles and my own plate... :yessir: |
