A NSW bushwalker has become violently ill after being bitten by a snake that he believed wasn’t venomous while catching it to bring home to show his children. Southern Highlands snake catcher Ray McGibbon said he was called by Bowral Hospital staff to identify a snake that had bitten a man who was vomiting on Friday. “He’s not feeling the best. He’s been throwing up for two to three hours. His hand’s all swollen,” McGibbon said in a video on his Facebook page.
” The man recovered in the hospital, according to McGibbon. But it could have “ended up a lot worse”, the seasoned reptile handler said, with some bites by the snake requiring tiger snake anti-venom. He pointed out the broad-headed snake is in the same family as the two most venomous snakes in the world, the inland taipan and eastern brown. Having spoken with the man, McGibbon said he was “feeling a little bit worse for wear” and also “feels a bit silly”.
