The venom is in the teeth, the meat is OK. It can be fried and tastes a bit like chicken. Here is how to cook the thing (after you catch it without being bitten):
Kill, skin and remove entrails. Cut into edible portions.
Make a batter of flour, cracker meal, salt, pepper and garlic.
Roll your snake portions in the batter. Fry in deep fat, heated to a temperature that will ignite a floating wooden match.
Fry until meat is a golden brown.
بالصحة والعافية :-)

i suggest dropping the word الحية, or instead, using الثعبان or الثعابين, which already exist in our arabic culinary lexicon. الحية is literary and would look here a bit odd.
