Kiwi conservationist Pete Bethune has shared a ghastly photo from his hospital bed after being bitten by a deadly snake in Costa Rica.
The 55-year-old was on Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula when he was the target of a highly venomous snake, a Fer De Lance, yesterday.
Friend Larisa Kellett told the Herald this morning she received confirmation he had made it through the night and that she was able to speak to him late last night.
