10-Year-Old Girl Bitten by Rattlesnake



CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii TV) - A 10-year-old girl was sent to the hospital after being bitten by a rattlesnake.



It happened Saturday April 9th, 2011 on a trail near the South Texas Botanical Gardens. Police told 3 News that the girl's father was trying to get the snake away from his family when the snake managed to suddenly bite the girl.



The father of the 10-year-old girl killed the snake and cut its head off and took the snake with them to the hospital to ensure the correct anti-venom was administered. Police say the snake may have been a Western Diamondback rattlesnake.



The girl has undergone treatment at Driscoll's Children's hospital. The father of the girl is now requesting that warning signs be put in place in order to warn future pedestrians

Family of Girl Bitten by Snake Hires Attorney

CORPUS CHRISTI (Kiii News) - The South Texas Botanical Gardens and Nature Center has been around for 15 years, and since that time there have been no incidents of anyone being hurt.



But that changed this past Saturday when a 10 year old Corpus Christi girl walking with her family was bitten by a diamond back rattlesnake. That family is asking that the gardens be closed down. The Amado Garza family has hired an attorney to make their message clear they say, they know the botanical gardens are suppose to get you as close to nature as possible, but not at the cost of risking your life.
