Earlier: A 19-year-old man who went into cardiac arrest after apparently receiving a snakebite at a North Austin parking lot on Tuesday is dead, a spokesman with Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services confirmed.
About 9:37 p.m., medics found the man in a car in the parking lot of Lowe’s Home Improvement at 13000 North Interstate 35 with puncture wounds on his wrists. Medics found several containers in his car, including one holding a live snake, officials said.
This should provide some good target practice for the cops.

It strikes me as seriously dumb to keep a venomous snake. I like snakes as much as the next person and have had them for pets (boa, rat snake, king snake), but keeping one that can kill you if you make one mistake? Not a good idea.

At least it is just Austin...
Was it female? Some snakes can reproduce many times from one “episode”.

We had a cobra get loose in our area. They had teams of people trying to find this snake. They never found it. I doubt they find this one either.

Keeping venomous snakes is for experienced serious herpetologists, not amateur juvenile showmen. If you are crazy enough to keep one, you should have anti-venin specific to that snake available and be sure you are not alergic to horses. And you sure as hell should not be taking them on road trips.
Feel sorry for the guy, the snake, and anyone it might encounter.

Cobra violence. Where’s the momunists? Mothers Opposing Cobra Killings=MOCKers. Besides, why just pick on cobras? There are other snakes that can kill you running loose in our neighborhoods.
