Naples, Florida - Authorities say a Florida man crashed his car after a pet snake he had wrapped around his neck began attacking him.
Witnesses say 30-year-old Courtland Johnson was driving erratically and crashed his PT Cruiser into several barricades about Tuesday night.
Reports say he got out of his car, wrestled with the snake and then drove off.
When authorities caught up with Johnson at his home, he told them he crashed into another car that had stopped short in front of him. After questioning, Johnson admitted he panicked when his snake bit him.
Reports say he had cuts and freshly dried blood on his body, but didn't need medical attention.
Johnson is charged with leaving the scene of a crash.

iguana did that to me once. He had decided that he wanted to lounge on the head rest behind me in the car and I didn't want him there. So, when I reached back to move him he bit me on the side of my face by the left eye. I had to pry him loose. Other than a "v" pattern of little teeth it wasn't bad. Thank goodness I was still parked. I don't like bites on the face AT ALL.
