Jake Taylor, 12, was on holiday with a friend’s family in a resort in Africa when he was bitten by a Mozambique spitting cobra, one of the world’s most venomous snakes.
He was asleep and woke up because he felt some sort of pain in his shoulder. When he opened his eyes he saw the snake on his hand and luckily his instinct kicked in and he flung it out of the bed.
But despite the pain, Jake says he is looking forward to telling his story of triumph against nature, with the aid of the preserved snake, which was killed shortly after biting him and is now displayed in a glass jar.
