'Cobraman' Recovers From Rattlesnake Bite

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Maybe "Cobraman" should consider a new line of work.
Ray Hunter of Port St. Lucie remained hospitalized on Monday, nearly two weeks after being bitten by an eastern diamondback rattlesnake. He said it's his 44th venomous snake bite, and he said it's "definitely the worst."
The 44-year-old man known as "Cobraman" is licensed to possess venomous snakes. He got the 5.5-foot rattlesnake from Port St. Lucie animal control officers.
He was bitten on the right hand while cleaning his snake cages. Hunter managed to drive himself to the hospital. He's now in renal failure, his right arm remains largely swollen and it's not clear when he can return home.
The snake is now at a zoo in another state.
