(WESH) The 14-year-old Florida eighth-grader is lucky his stay in the hospital was short after he was bitten by a venomous snake at school.
Devin Waxman was walking in between class periods on Monday at Markham Woods Middle School. Everything was routine until Waxman heard a noise.
"I was walking from third period and I threw my water bottle away. It made a sound, startled the snake and bit my leg. It latched on and I had to kick it off and I had to get out of there," he said.
The snake that bit the teen was never captured, but Waxman said he believes it was a moccasin.
