Its Rattler season in the Pawnee!!!

Don't get me excited. I'd come over to kill a snake in a heart beat. In the city where you can't use a gun it'd be way more fun too!

I can't imagine there's enough of a supply/demand deficit to make the venom very valuable. There's several rural communities in OK, TX, & KS that have annual "rattlesnake roundups" where they catch thousands of them. There's all kinds of prize categories, and most of the snakes are butchered for meat, skins, heads and rattles, and they milk every damn one of them first. So I can't imagine there's any shortage of it. I'm sure it's worth something though.
