Reptiles such as snakes can be skinned and the guts removed, then cooked like any other food.

Remove the head of any poisonous snake prior to processing.

Frogs can also be skinned or just cooked and consumed after gutting.

Turtles are a bit tricky:

1. Cut the head off.
2. Hang the body upside down to bleed out.
3. Remove the lower shell by cutting the thin layer of membrane between the shell and the meat.
4. Clean out the innards.

You can use the shell as a pot in which to cook the meat.

Turtle meat makes very good bait for fishing.
