Florida man tries to kiss rattlesnake; gets bitten

A Florida man who tried to kiss a rattlesnake, only for it to snub his advances and bite him, is recovering in hospital.

The snake was found by Charles Goff, a resident of Putnam County, in the north-east of the state, on Monday.

A day later, a neighbour, named by a local CBS channel as Ron Reinold, started playing with the snake and made his ill-judged move.

Mr Reinold was airlifted to hospital and is now recovering.

"One boy said, 'I'm going to kiss it in the mouth,' and the snake bit him in the face," Mr Goff told Action News Jax.

"Ron was just acting silly, you know? I guess he said he could kiss the devil and get away with it, but evidently he didn't."

First Coast News said the victim was conscious but had initially been in a critical condition.

The snake is believed to have escaped after its ordeal.

It is still not clear why Mr Reinold tried to kiss the rattlesnake.

Yeah, I'm guessing this was a "Hold my beer" moment.

The snake is obviously not tolerant of the trans-species

Bob the rattlesnake to Fred a snake friend:

Bob:  "yeah, you wouldn't believe what this one human jerk tried to do.....this clown tried to kiss me. And this was right after I gave him  the " what are you looking at?" stare and a pretty strong rattle. How stupid are these humans?"

"Some of them can be pretty stupid" replied Fred as he swallowed his breakfast rat.

When I was in college, the term 'kiss the snake' had a whole different meaning than kissing an actual snake. Maybe the guy just got confused?

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

Sometimes you kiss the snake.  Sometimes the snake kisses you.

Ya know...I get that alcohol was involved...but how old was this dude? I don't see it in the article. Or maybe my eyes are blinded by the situation. Who over the age of 10 would try to French kiss a rattlesnake?
