We cooked a copperhead snake one day because my buddies wife said we couldn't do it. We were already had a rattlesnake on the pit when the copperhead came crawling by and we killed it. When my buddies wife seen it she asked what we were going to do w/ it and I joked that we were going to cook it, and she said there was no way she was going to let us do that. So we threw it on the pit after cleaning it. It wasn't bad though it was a little small.
