Sad story out of Australia. Guy thought it was a python. Picked it up to move it and got bit. Didn't think anything of it so he went on a training run which moved the poison through him pretty quick.

Would never happen to a GAA player.They'd just have kicked the snake out of the way.

People should never take chances with snakes, especially in Australia, of all places, with their roster of deadly poisonous ones.

This is so tempting, but I don't want to upset the Dublin lads any further.

Pretty sure it'd be the snake worrying about getting bit and not the other way round.
