Profit in Snakes in Williamsport
William R. Hoover, Greens Valley forest ranger, has built a rattlesnake oils and skins business in Williamsport. He captures live snakes, now adding two large specimens with ten and eight rattles, lengths about 3 feet 2 inches. Hoover explains rattlesnakes may not always warn before approaching and notes he feeds them natural prey before fattening and selling them for a good price.
