Arizona man tries to eat rattlesnake; snake bites back

[JonLP24]

A Coolidge man remained hospitalized Friday after surviving a rattlesnake bite to the face while trying to show off to friends at a party by attempting to cook the reptile on the barbecue.

Victor Pratt 48, has been at Banner-University Medical Center in Phoenix since Sept. 7.

While celebrating his child's birthday with friends, Pratt said he decided to show them how to catch and cook a rattlesnake after one of the reptiles showed up in his yard during the party.

Pratt, who spoke to The Arizona Republic on Friday, grabbed the venomous snake and was showing it off to friends and family, posing for several photos. But he lost his grip on the snake's head, and it attacked him.

2. It's nothing I haven't seen before but usually the bite is on the jerk's hand

What was this joker trying to do, tongue kiss it? What do you want to bet "here, hold my beer" played a part in this.

For future reference, you chop the head off first. Then you cook it. And it's not bad, although I'd rather skin it, crumb it, and pan fry it.

The sad thing is that you just know he is handing this stupidity down to his son. "Happy birthday son" "now I gonna give you a lesson in stupid."
