Venomous Water Moccasin Bite Captured On Doorbell Camera

PEMBROKE PINES — The moment a venomous water moccasin snake struck a Florida man was caught on a video doorbell camera. The incident happened recently in a housing complex less than 25 miles from Miami.

"He looked down and found he had been bitten by a poisonous water moccasin," explained Lt Chris Pecori of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue's Venom One Unit, which was called in to deliver anti-venom to the Broward County hospital where the man sought treatment.

Pecori said the man was just walking out of his home one night when he encountered the slithery predator.

He can be seen on video jumping back after the snake bites him.

"He went to a local hospital where he was seeking treatment," said Pecori. "Venom One was able to bring anti-venom and assist in the treatment."

Miami-Dade's Venom One unit maintains the largest and only antivenom bank for public use in the United States and provides antivenom to hospitals in and out of the Miami area.

"This individual was able to make a full recovery with no disabilities," Pecori added.
