Shfaram toddler bites, kills snake

Mother shocked to discover one and a half-year-old boy calmly chewing dead serpent’s head

A Shfaram mother was surprised on Thursday morning to walk into her one and half-year-old son’s room only to discover him calmly chewing on the head of a snake.

The toddler had spotted the snake on the floor, put it in his mouth and bitten its head, killing it. Though the snake resembled a small viper, it was apparently not venomous.

After the toddler’s relatives recovered from the shock, they rushed him to Haifa’s Rambam Hospital. Extensive checkups revealed that the boy was unharmed.
