A snakebite victim is speaking out after a surprising encounter. Jeremy Sons, founder of Clear Creek Adventure Ranch rescue, was bitten by a water moccasin. The snake was about three and a half feet long and as big around as a baseball. Sons mistakenly lifted a log without checking for snakes and the water moccasin lunged, causing five puncture wounds on his right hand.

Sons and his wife rushed to the ER, calling ahead to ensure they were prepared. Despite the danger he was in, Sons expressed compassion for the snake, saying it was just doing what snakes do. Further details about the incident are available from the source. Sons' reaction to the bite has been notable, with him taking responsibility for the encounter.
