This looks great, wonderful job on the instructable by the way. Is there any issue with the bones? How do you remove the bones?

The rib bones are pretty solidly attached to the spine - not like fish bones, which you end up with all over your mouth. I was able to scrape snake meat off the ribs with my teeth, without dislodging the bones at all.

thanks for putting this up! it might turn out to be a very useful piece of knowledge one day! but I was just wondering about the bones (spine and ribs)! are you meant to remove them or are they like salmon and can be easily chewed or do you have to just be a bit more careful like with other forms of fish? thanks

You know, I don't think anything has ever made me say "No way... I just couldn't" before. Honestly. I mean sure, I wouldn't like to eat bugs and grubs and crap but pretty much any animal with a decent amount of meat seems totally logical to me.

I am not behind the whole "How could the [insert stereotypical dog-eating culture here] people eat dog?!" I mean yeah, we think of them as pets, but I can imagine it's pretty much a goat with its clothes off. But this... this made me cringe when I got to the flayed step! I guess now I get it. My Indigo snake was my best pet ever. My favorite pet and the one I felt a real bond with. So yeah, now I get it.

That said, I'm sure it's delicious. And a great instructable, thanks!
