Man, what part of Texas are you in?
Back in my day in Texas a snake was a payday for us. There where always labs around that purchased them, and of course the rattle snake round up every year was good for selling out rattlers.
I was stationed in Louisiana from 98-2000, there was even better money there for snakes. Cottonmouth mack then would get you 70 bucks, and seriously who cant go out in a evening and bring home 5 good snakes.
If your good and scared of them and respect them, then you may want to see who is buying them up in your area. Back in the day there was always a larger research demand for wild snakes over farmed snakes of the same species.
Nice part about it is that it is not one of those hobby jobs that most your mates or others will hear about and decided to invite them selves in on the action of your pay check.
