number 10 a thankfully dry bite
let's travel down under to cabulture
australia in 2015
yvonne lorch courageously moved a live
snake away from her cat
unfortunately she got herself bitten in
the process
while paramedics couldn't identify the
little biter they still
took the incident very seriously we can
be thankful
they did because they later discovered
that the culprit was a highly venomous
eastern brown
snake but that wasn't the only fortunate
discovery in this case
medical officials eventually determined
the bite was dry
meaning that the snake didn't use any of
its venom during the fateful encounter
if you ask us that is one lucky cat mom
number nine trying to warn people about
snake season
what's the definition of irony how about
being
nearly bitten by a reptile while trying
to make people aware of how dangerous
they are like most snakes
the eastern brown is shy but catch it
off guard
and it doesn't hesitate to strike
that's what happened to justin lantry
when he brought out a venomous snake for
a photo shoot
to warn the people of maitland about the
snake breeding season
according to lantry the eastern brown
snake was in a bad mood that day
and who did it take out its anger on why
mr lantry of course
throughout the shoot the snake nearly
sank its fangs into its handler's body
multiple times the photographer later
said quote
justin was even checking his shirt to
see if there was any venom on it
maybe the snake was upset that the
photographer got its bad side
number eight pokebite at the height of
its popularity
pokemon go was getting plenty of people
into all sorts of trouble
but an encounter that one texas teen had
particularly stood out
in 2016 lane smith threw on some
flip-flops and tried to catch him
all on the app i was on my phone
obviously because i was seeing if
anything would pop up on the
along the way it did just not on the
phone
while walking to a pokestop lane
inadvertently stepped on what he thought
was a stick until he realized that the
stick had fangs
and it might have been a copperhead and
it had bitten him
luckily doctors assessed the bite and
confirmed it wasn't bad enough to
require any additional treatment
this only leaves us with one question
did he go after pokemon with combat
boots from that point on
i'm just more like cautious and aware of
my surroundings a warning
you know he's gonna pass on number seven
constrictor turns on its caretaker no
matter how
kind you are to a snake there's always a
chance it can suddenly think of you
as food or a threat texas wildlife
rehabilitator debbie grizzinski learned
this the hard way
she spent eight years watching over a
boa constrictor she named isenia
and then on one july day the constrictor
attacked grizzinski without warning
not only did isenia bite her but it also
wrapped its body around the
rehabilitator
paramedics nearly had to remove the
snake's head to free gruzinski
even after that distressing incident she
was still happy that the snake survived
but grizzinski understandably became a
little more apprehensive about the
slithering reptiles

oh

managed to avoid becoming its next
victim
and it wasn't the last time he had such
a close call with a snake
that was about four inches from my face
we bet the locals are grateful to have
people like mckenzie out there willing
to get up close and personal with
raging reptiles to keep everyone safe

number one an uninvited nighttime
visitor
every parent's worst nightmare was
almost fully realized by a six-foot
python in australia back in 2013.
when tess guthrie was awoken in the
middle of the night by her cat's hissing
she discovered the horrifying reason why
a large snake was wrapped around
her daughter's arm she immediately
sprang to action to save her child
guthrie grabbed the python struggled
with it and didn't stop until her
daughter was free from its grip
the child thankfully only suffered a few
bite wounds in the incident
that doctors were able to patch up after
we went to the hospital
the and text came they found snakes
sort of down behind the bedside table
and in between the wall but i don't
doubt that he was under the bed
for days but the craziest part of this
close call
was that guthrie still showed compassion
for the reptile
she requested that the snake be set free
to slither
another day do you agree with our picks
