That's what I hear. Never have eaten snake, and never have heard or read about eating any snake but rattlesnake. I expect snake tastes like snake, however, which means, like chicken.

Maggie, good to hear I ain't the only "girl" on Mudcat who has skinned a roadkill.   Have you ever read John McPhee's "Travels in Georgia"?

Groundhogs are hard to skin, and often not large enough, but groundhog hides, when large enough, make for excellent frame drums. Thin, tough, and bright tones. Since they are common roadkills, I have stopped and collected and skinned a few, though I would not assert "more than a few."
