SELLS SNAKES FOR A LIVING
Mexican Supplies Deadly Reptiles and
Finds Ready Market for Rat
tiers and Moccasins.

San Antonio, Texas. - Hunting
snakes for a living is the queer &C.
cupation of a Mexican In this city,
who finds a ready market for all the
venomous reptiles he catches, the pur-
chaser being a dealer on West Com
merce street, who supplies shows, mu-
suem and scientists.
The snakes are sold by the pound.
and for choice specimens of rattlers
20 cents a pound is paid. The Mexi-
can has two ways of catching a rat
tier, n for the old and another for
the young snakes. An old one is
caught by placing a forked stick over
its body, just back of the head, and
holding it down until the snake
catcher a grasp it safely and drop
1t into a sack.
Young rattlers are grabbed by the
Mexican with his hand and dropped
Into a sack without using the forked
stick.
In catching water moccasins, the
hunter wades into the stream carrying
a moose in front of the snake to be
pulled up as it swims through. Small
moccasins, like small rattlers, he
catches with his hands.
