“The venom unit also was busy earlier this week when a cable company worker was bitten by a poisonous Eastern green mamba snake.”
Good Lord, I did not know green mamba snakes were native to Florida??? I presume this is one that someone had in captivity and let it go. Mamba venom is particularly bad business. I pray mambas are not reproducing in Florida.
Green mambas are NOT native to Florida. They are native to Africa. It probably escaped captivity during a hurricane.
Here is the story.

Hmmm. I understand why the snake bit someone who worked for a cable company.
