A black mamba snake is seen at Zoo Atlanta in this file photo. The Black mamba has a reputation as one of the most deadly snakes.
Wildlife authorities are investigating after a 22-year-old man was bitten by a venomous black mamba while he was trying to purchase the snake at an interstate exit in south Georgia.
The Florida Times-Union reports that John K. Rosenbaum of Jacksonville was bitten during the sale Monday along I-95 in Kingsland. Rosenbaum was taken to two hospitals — Southeast Georgia Health System's Camden hospital before being transported to Shands Jacksonville in Florida.
Shands officials say he has been discharged.
Georgia authorities say no one in the state has a wild animal license for black mambas, nor does Rosenbaum. Violators can get up to a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
