Man gets bitten trying to feed water snake by hand

A video has emerged of a man trying to feed a water snake a fish but ending up getting bitten in the process.

In the video, filmed in August in Texas, the fisherman can be seen trying to feed the non-venomous diamondback snake.

According to the filmer, he often feeds them by hand because they trust him.

Unfortunately, on this occasion, his leg smelled of fish so the snake went for his leg.
