Australian Karl Berry Dies From Snakebite!

Dateline: Darwin Australia, 26 yr old Karl Berry, a field hockey player was cleaning up the Marrara Hockey Center on Tues and picked up a brown snake and tossed it into the bushes. In doing so, he was bitten on the hand but didn't give it much thought because he thought the snake was nonvenomous. BIG MISTAKE! Even I know that brown snakes in Australia are deadly! Australia has 12 of the world's 14 deadliest snakes. So if you are in Australia be cautious and do NOT pick up snakes at all because it is most likely a venomous one. Then Karl went on a jog and ended up collapsing, an ambulance was called and it was another 15 mins b4 he mentioned that he had been bitten by a snake. Damn! That is just so sad. He died in the hospital a couple of days later. There was a similar situation on the reality show, Swamp Wars. However, it had a different result thank God. But this guy finds this baby snake in his back yard and he picks it up and puts it into a box and then he calls the fire dept. But he was handling it and his kids were petting it; turns out it was a baby cotton mouth. Which is indigenous to Florida. It just goes to show you, DO NOT PICK UP SNAKES unless you are an EXPERT! Rest in Peace Karl.
