I know that you can't buy or sell any game animal meat. I know that there are Timber Rattler seasons in some states where you have to have a permit to take one, and it has to be a certain size and determined to be male. I'm pretty sure that someone selling TRs out of PA would be running into legal issues. I don't think there is anything governing the sale of animal parts when there are no laws governing the killing/protection of the animal itself. In the spirit of the laws that do exist....the reason I'm offering the little money I'm offering is to cover the trouble of carrying around, freezing, boxing, and going to the PO to mail the thing. I thought about offering more to quickly get enough to cover my needs, but I don't want to be incentivizing anyone to go out on copperhead hunts to rake in a pile of cash. If folks can help me out in their routine, typical dispachment of snakes they run into turkey hunting or gardening, great, but I seriously do not want anyone going out of their way to make some money.
