The new Possum
Just in time for Great Depression II

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080720212319AA70Rej

Are pythons and boa constrictors edible?

Yes, they are.
Pythons are eaten less commonly than other snakes. They are nonvenomous and lay eggs that are edible, though not widely used as a food source.
Boas do not lay eggs, but are also edible.
When eating any type of snake meat, humans take a risk of contracting parasitic infections. It is important to wear rubber/latex/plastic gloves when skinning and preparing the meat, just as with any wild game. Extra precaution to cook it to a safe internal temperature (160 F) should also be taken due to the nature of their food stuffs.
In many Asian countries, it is believed that drinking the blood of a snake, particularly a cobra, will increase sexual virility. It is generally mixed with liquour to improve the taste.
