    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Snake store employee bitten by Western Diamondback Rattlesnake caught on cam
September 27, 2007

A snake store employee was sent to the hospital after he was bitten by a western diamondback rattlesnake.

Tony Cruz was bitten at about 10 a.m. at Strictly Reptiles, 6450 Stirling Road, while he was cleaning the snake's cage, said owner Mike Van Nostrand.

The 2 1/2-foot-long snake crept to the top edge of the cage and bit Cruz, 37, on his left ring finger.

The victim's hand was swollen and discolored by the time he reached Memorial Pembroke Hospital, said Al Cruz, special operations chief for the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department.

Cruz said the man was initially treated with six vials of antivenom and would likely receive six to 18 more vials to counteract the effects of the bite.

If Strictly in Florida is involved, just be glad it didn't involve a smuggled animal and narcotics trafficing.
