Snake hunter hospitalized after biteBy Nadine Parks (Contact)
The Post and Courier
Monday, May 5, 2008
It wasn't the first time snake hunter Ted Clamp was bitten. It was, however, his first strike by an Eastern diamondback rattler and his first time getting a dose of an improved antivenin that he helps produce. Brothers Ted and Heyward Clamp are co-owners of the Edisto Island Serpentarium. Ted Clamp took a hit from a four-footer Sunday afternoon while hunting the poisonous snakes along the Georgia coast. As Ted Clamp tried to place one of the snakes in his bag, the snake struck him in the left hand. He was recovering Monday night at a Beaufort hospital and responding well to antivenin. His condition was not life threatening. Read more in Tuesday's edition of The Post and Courier. |
