A man is on life support after being bitten by the world's deadliest snake, which he kept as a pet.

Next on our news, we have a rather shocking and horrifying story. A man from Florence, South Carolina, named Jeffrey Leibowitz, was recently bitten by the world's most venomous snake, the inland taipan. Despite this, he miraculously managed to survive the attack. However, he is currently in a serious condition and receiving treatment in hospital.

It all started on a regular Friday, when Jeffrey was bitten in his own home by the deadly inland taipan. The situation became even more alarming when the police were informed that there were other venomous snakes in the house. As a result, they obtained a search warrant and what they found was truly shocking. Among the 14 snakes found in the house, some of the most terrifying and dangerous ones were a green mamba, two gaboon vipers, a fer-de-lance, a death adder, an eastern diamondback rattlesnake, two black forest cobras, two adult rattlesnakes, two neotropical rattlesnakes, a small rattlesnake, and of course, the inland taipan.

It was the inland taipan that had bitten Jeffrey and caused him to end up in the hospital in such a serious condition. Jeff Camper, a snake specialist and biologist at Francis Marion University, spoke about just how deadly the inland taipan's venom can be. According to him, it contains both human toxic and neurotoxic components, as well as components that can affect the muscles and heart. He described it as a very potent and dangerous venom.

Jeffrey's experience was undoubtedly a terrifying one. Their venom can cause intense pain, swelling, and even skin discoloration. In fact, a single bite from an inland taipan can be deadly for up to 100 people. Fortunately, emergency services were able to administer antivenom to Jeffrey at the scene, saving his life.

Despite the severity of the situation, Jeffrey is not out of the woods yet. According to Jeff Camper, his body may start to shut down soon, as the venom has likely paralyzed his diaphragm. He may also suffer long-term or permanent damage to various organs. It's a scary thought, but thankfully, he is receiving the necessary treatment in hospital.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that owning these types of snakes is prohibited by state laws. Even selling, transporting, or rehoming them can be considered a violation of state regulations. Sadly, local zoos were unable to take in the snakes due to concerns about their health and the potential impact on the environment.

In the end, a family member of Jeffrey's had to make the difficult decision to surrender the snakes for euthanasia. It's a tragic outcome, but hopefully, this incident will serve as a reminder of the dangers of owning such deadly creatures. Let's hope that Jeffrey makes a full recovery and that this serves as a cautionary tale for others.
