Eating poisonous snakes requires removing the head of the snake, because there are poisonous glands and fangs in the head of the snake. The snake body is non-toxic and can be safely eaten. . But the internal organs must be removed, and the snake gall inside is a very valuable Chinese medicine. . The toxicity of a snake is judged by whether there are poisonous glands in its mouth. A snake with poisonous glands has two particularly sharp fangs in its mouth, and the tips of the fangs have small holes that run through the poisonous glands. When biting, it injects venom into the wound from the small hole at the tip of the fangs. Therefore, if it is found that the wound bitten by a snake has two small holes not far apart, it is more obvious than the scars left by other snake teeth. This snake must be a poisonous snake. If there were no fangs, the snake would be harmless.

However, in life, people usually recognize them by their appearance and actions. Key points include:

Poisonous snakes are brightly colored and often have special patterns. Their heads are mostly triangular, their bodies are thick and short, and their tails are short and blunt or flat on their sides. When they inhabit, they tend to flock, crawl slowly and have a fierce temperament.

Non-poisonous snakes are usually dull in color, with an oval head, a slender figure, a long and tapering tail, a fast crawling speed and a timid temperament.

Because snake gall is slightly toxic and can be fatal if eaten improperly, it is best not to eat more.

The general eating method is raw swallowing, but this is a folk prescription and is not worth popularizing;

I haven't tried steaming, but it's usually used to make wine.
