A social media wildlife star has been hospitalized after being bitten by a venomous rattlesnake in Florida.

David Orin, 25, set out on December 18 on Florida’s Shired Island in Dixie County to go “herping” – the act of searching for reptiles – when he was savagely bitten by a four-foot Eastern Diamondback rattlesnake, according to the influencer.
