The young Lad is believed to have been rushed to an hospital despite receiving antivenom within an hour he was bitten. 

However reports reveals that the snake is in police custody and left it with a vet. The man’s identity has not been released.

According to witnesses 
“He went to investigate his small dog barking and found the dog to have a small brown snake in his mouth,” Sergeant Josh McKenzie told ABC News.
“He’s then gone to try and separate the dog from the snake and was bitten on the finger.”

Speaking with the telegraph Harley Jones, a professional snake catcher in Australia, said brown snakes are “not dangerous” and only attack humans if they try to pick them up.

“Grabbing a brown snake in any scenario is the craziest thing to do,”
