Snake turns out harmless—just a northern watersnake
After the bite, Moula killed the snake and brought it to the local hospital so doctors could check if it was dangerous.
He got first-aid and anti-venom just in case, but staff soon confirmed it was a non-venomous water snake.
Moula felt relieved knowing he wasn't at risk from the bite.
