A Putnam County man was trying to kiss a rattlesnake when it bit him on the tongue, neighbors told Action News Jax.

Ron Reinold was flown to the hospital by helicopter in critical condition after he was bit by the rattlesnake on Tuesday.


Family said Reinold is doing much better Wednesday and is expected to survive.

Charles Goff said he found the rattlesnake on Monday night. He said he knows how to handle snakes and put it in a tank.

He said his neighbors should not have been playing with the snake when Reinold was bit.

"The next morning before I got up, they were playing with the snake," Goff said. "One boy said, 'I'm going to kiss it in the mouth,' and the snake bit him in the face."

Goff said Reinold and another man were being irresponsible by playing with the snake.

"Ron was just acting silly, you know?" he said. "I guess he said he could kiss the devil and get away with it, but evidently he didn't."

Wow. Only in Florida would this actually happen twice in the same week. Some other fricker picked one up to BBQ it and it fricked up his face

You know what, he deserved it. He knew what it was, he knew it was poisonous and he still messed with it. He had it coming.

How did it bite his tongue though
