A surprising discovery was made by an Arkansas high school football player during practice. The player had been wearing his helmet for almost an hour before noticing something unusual. It was then found that a two-foot-long venomous snake had made its way under the helmet's padding.

The snake, identified as a cottonmouth, was discovered after the player brought his helmet in for inspection. Athletic staff at Maumelle High School were shocked by the finding. Further details about the incident are available from the source, including the response of local animal services to retrieve the snake.
