Talk bout wild meat! This 27 year old man can’t because he busy knamming down macajuel.  Police arrested and charged the Rio Claro man for having two dead boa constrictor skins. When questioned further the man told the police he had already eaten one sssssssss-snake, and that he planned to eat the other.

The arrest happened a day before the two year band on hunting (Wednesday Night) was lifted. Constables Naim Mohammed and Vishal Rampersad from the Rio Claro CID conducted a sting operation pretending to be customers interested in purchasing the snake. Both officers met the gardner near his home at Cunapo, Southern Main Road, Rio Claro where he had  a crocus bag with the remains of one macajuel and the skin of another macajuel in the same bag. These snakes are protected under the Wildlife Conservation Act.  The skins of the two snakes were approximately 3.7 meters in length. Police said the man admitted he got the snakes from someone and was using it for his personal consumption.   The man also said the snake “Tasted like shark”.
