    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A man who found a snake while out hiking took it home to show his children, only to be rushed to hospital after being bitten.

    The father from New South Wales, Australia, believed the creature was a non-venomous diamond python when he picked it up, and was promptly bitten by the reptile.

    But he realised all was not well when he began vomiting violently and his hand became badly swollen, triggering an emergency visit to hospital.

    He immediately identified it as a broad-headed snake - which inject neurotoxins into the bloodstream when they bite, which can lead to incapacitation and, in some cases, death.

    The expert, who runs the South Highlands Snake Catchers service, said he collected the reptile before returning it to its habitat a few days later.

    Mr McGibbon told Sky News the broad-headed snake was now an endangered species due to the destruction of its natural habitat, which is believed to be caused by urbanisation, illegal removal of rocks and vandalism.

    This isn’t weird. This is depressingly normal. Glad the kids didn’t get hurt.
