Hunter Catches Venomous Reptiles Alive and Finds a Market Here and Abroad Uses a Forked Stick. San Antonio. Tex. Hunting snakes For a living may not be an occupation that Is really pleasant in all Its phases and It may not be attractive to all classes of men. However, there is one man In this city, a Mex ican, who has made snake hunting a business for a number of years. He does not confine himself to the harm less variety, but makes a specialty of catching the cotton mouth moccasin and the rattlesnake. These , are caught alive and sold to a dealer in snakes. This Mexican snake hunter has two methods of catching a rattler. If the snake is large he placed a forked stick on Its back and holds It down until he can get hold of it In such a manner as to drop It Into a sack. But If It Is a small rattler a stick Is not used. The hunter watches the reptile until it colls ready to strike and then with a swift movement of the hand catches the snake just be low the head, grips it tightly and slips It Into a sack. While catching water moccasins, however, he usually goes barefoot and when the moccasin Is too large to be caught with the hand it is las soed with a small lariat attached to the end of a stick. Sometimes this is done by letting the reptile swim through the loop. At other times It Is thrown over the head of the swim ming snake with as much accuracy as a skilled marksman shoots with a gun. In the winter, when snakes are hibernating, the snake hunter finds a hole and thrusts a stick down it Then he sits down to watch. If the stick moves he knows there is some thing below and proceeds at once to dig out the snake. But If there Is no movement after watching for a half hour or so, the hunter seeks another hole and repeats the test with a stick. It Is not an uncommon thing for this snake hunter to bag a hundred pounds of snakes In one day. These, if they be good specimens, bring 25 cents per pound, alive. While this is the only snake hunter in this city, a number of men now in the KIngville country, near the gulf, are engaged In the business and follow It all the year round. Recently 600 pounds of rattlesnakes were shipped into this city by express from one snake hunter In the Kings ville country, the man having made an unusual catch In one week. From the dealer here rattlesnakes are shipped to all parts of the country for exhibition purposes, and In a few in stances shipments have been made to other parts of the world. The Texas rattler Is deadly venomous and has to be handled with care. So far as is known, but one rattle snake hunter has ever died from the effects of a 'bite while capturing a snake. It is not an uncommon thing in some of the wilder parts of the country to capture a snake having iz or more rattles, showing that the reptile is 13 years or more old, since the first rattle appears when the snaKe is one year of age. .
