One Rattle Is Enough For Young Snake Collector
A 14 year old in San Francisco received an 18 inch black rattler by mail from Florida ten days earlier and added it to a menagerie including six snakes two baby alligators 10 birds a pet raccoon and mice. The snake bit him yesterday and his mother applied a tourniquet before rushing him to hospital where no antivenom or suction device was on hand. A pharmacist later located serum in a warehouse. From his hospital bed John canceled his order for a second rattler.
