Another California Man Who Tried to Take Selfie With Rattlesnake Gets Bit

What part of venomous do some people not understand? Another California man was bitten by a rattlesnake after he picked it up and tried to take a selfie with it. According to KCAL9, Alex Gomez, 36, picked up an approximately four-foot rattlesnake near his family ranch in Lake Elsinore when the reptile, you guessed it, bit him on the hand.

Look at those hospital bills when people get bit by rattlesnakes.
Bet he won't be able to pay it all by his selfie.

Obviously Alex Gomez lacked that mechanism. But maybe the snake activated it

He is lucky to be alive. We need to start importing mambas to California. That will speed up the process without pesky medical bills.
