A good, well marked 6'+, will start at $400 and go up. Anything under 6' will sell by the pound and right now in our area, they are bringing $5±/lb. Several of the Mexican crew guys are catching them to supplement their income. We had a den on the site and Alonzo cleaned it out the other day.
Had a construction guy stop by the gate a couple of days ago with a 2 foot rattlesnake in his toolbox. He said he was taking it to Freer to sell it. Apparently, according to him, they buy them for rattlesnake roundups. According to him they give a thousand dollars for 6 footers. I'm not so sure I believe that. Kinda like paying for fleas or something.
