I'm not 100% sure that what I'm about to advise is true in all circumstances, so if anyone knows better, then please correct me.

If you're bitten by a venomous pet snake, please DO NOT CALL 911, as this will alert the police to your situation and it will usually get into the media. Instead, if possible, get someone to drive you to the nearest hospital and insist that you want your medical condition to be treated confidentially.

A friend of mine was bitten about a year ago by his Black and White Spitting Cobra. He took a cab to the nearest hospital, and the incident was never reported to the police or the media.
