Science-1A
Note: The head can deliver a poisonous bite 20 minutes after being cut off from the body. So we smash and bury the head. Other wild critters then quickly recycle of the body. Also, the body will strike out for quite a long time even without its head. A worrisome possibility is that as we kill off rattlesnakes, we may be selecting against the ones that rattle and missing those that don't! If you are interested in eating rattlesnake meat, be aware that a rattlesnake might bite itself to poison its flesh.
