Default Rattlesnake selfie attempt lands stupid mexican in hospital

LAKE ELSINORE, Calif., Aug. 28 (UPI) -- A California man has
been released from the hospital after an impromptu photo shoot
with a rattlesnake ended with a predictable disaster.

Alex Gomez of Lake Elsinore was hospitalized Monday after he
picked up a rattlesnake discovered in his back yard and took
photos with the snake hanging around his neck.

The photo shoot came to a premature end when the snake bit Gomez
on the hand.

"I'm shocked that he would have that things around his neck,"
Gomez's mother, Deborah, told CBS Los Angeles. "It could've bit
his neck, and that would have been it. That's just being a fool."

Deborah, who shared her son's snake selfies with KTLA-TV, said
she wanted her son to be embarrassed of his actions.

"I told him the news people had been calling, and he said 'Mom,
you better not,' and I said 'I'm going to.' I'm going to teach
him a real good lesson when he gets home. No mercy for him," she
said.

Gomez was released from the hospital Thursday, but doctors said
they will continue to monitor the venom in his system to ensure
his hand injury doesn't worsen.

No, don't cut off the thumb, cut off the head. That ought to
cure the problem!
