The headline is Blountstown girl bitten by copperhead. Listen close to the girl talking about it having eggs. Also notice in the video how good her foot looks where she got bit twice. I would bet almost anything that she got bit by a cornsnake which are very common in that area.
As to the identification. I have had to be at the Blountstown hospital before due to a friend being bitten by a copperhead in bristol. The people at the hospital were talking about using electric shock to neutralize the venom. We finally made them transport him back to Panama city to get treatment.

Wow. You're probably right about it being a corn snake. And people really can be stupid enough to believe something happened that really didn't, needlessly spend $125,000 to fix it, and then consider it a miracle. I wonder what insurance company they have. Anyone ever [bleep]ed about their rates before? Hmmmm.
