Hiker's Snake Show-and-Tell Ends in Hospital Visit

A hiker in Australia was bitten by a venomous broad-headed snake after mistaking it for a harmless diamond python and bringing it home to show his kids. The man ended up in the hospital after experiencing violent vomiting and a swollen hand. The snake was identified by a snake catcher, who collected it and returned it to its habitat. The hiker was fortunate to survive the bite, as broad-headed snakes have the potential to cause death. The incident serves as a reminder to admire wildlife in their natural habitat and avoid capturing or taking them home.
