A 10-year-old girl in Australia was hospitalized on Monday night after sustaining two massive bites from a deadly snake while in bed.
The child urgently required anti-venom and was transferred to a local hospital by St John Ambulance paramedics who were called to a home in Desert Springs, a suburb of the Northern Territory town of Alice Springs, at approximately 10 p.m. on Monday.
She was found to have been bitten on both feet by a mulga snake, also known as a king brown, estimated to be more than three feet in length by a local snake catcher.
