A Florida man who tried to kiss a rattlesnake, only for it to snub his advances and bite him, is recovering in hospital.

The snake was found by Charles Goff, a resident of Putnam County, in the north-east of the state, on Monday.

A day later, a neighbour, named by a local CBS channel as Ron Reinold, started playing with the snake and made his ill-judged move.

Mr Reinold was airlifted to hospital and is now recovering.

"One boy said, 'I'm going to kiss it in the mouth,' and the snake bit him in the face," Mr Goff told Action News Jax.

Just....WHY?

That's how you get salmonella.

Regiruler · May 18, 2017

Guessed Florida for stupid shit.

Could have been Australia for fauna though.

Einchy · May 18, 2017

Man, even the BBC is getting on the Florida Man hype train.

The snake is believed to have escaped after its ordeal.

Stay strong, snake.

He's lived long enough to become the villain now.

Well... Sometimes a Florida Man just wants to smooch a rattlesnake, you know?

What an imbecile. Now watch him multiple his imbecile genes and have five imbecile children in his future.

Thought it was going to be a snake handler in Appalachia.

HStallion · May 18, 2017

It could have been worse. Florida Man could have been trying to get a suckjob from a rattlesnake.

ReAxion · May 18, 2017

That was probably the next step after the kiss.

Oh wow. You've seen that movie too? I thought I was the only one LOL

/s. Why would you post a meme of an obvious quote of a movie. We all know where it's from. Do you explain every joke at a party that anyone else makes?

Khaz · May 18, 2017

Come on now, it's an honest mistake to make.

cr0w · May 18, 2017

Never underestimate the sheer fucking stupidity of a redneck. It's amazing.

GermanZepp · May 18, 2017

Yo, that's Natural selection.

PD: Thinking a little more i believe that anybody has a second o two of stupidity. I allow it.

FantasticMrFoxdie · May 18, 2017

Reminds me of the time Mar-A-Lago Man kissed an FBI director goodbye

TheGameshark · May 18, 2017

Florida man is always up to some crazy shit

Sgt. Kabukiman · May 18, 2017

A Florida man who tried to kiss a rattlesnake

Well yeah, obviously.

30yearsofhurt · May 18, 2017

Ain't no rattlesnakes in Australia or Germany.

Big_Al · May 18, 2017

I have no idea why but I can't stop laughing at the following line.

"One boy said, 'I'm going to kiss it in the mouth,' and the snake bit him in the face," Mr Goff told Action News Jax.

I think it's just the matter of factness to it.

Dylan Sexbang · May 18, 2017

Rattlesnakes are one of the things you tend to avoid fucking with, but this man up and said he's gonna kiss it. Little did he know, she was a biter.

jelly · May 18, 2017

He was just trying another way to become Cumberbatch.

RPGamer92 · May 18, 2017

I knew it would be Florida.

Grazzt · May 18, 2017

I guessed Florida because Aussies are not this stupid

ironjoe989 · May 18, 2017

God I hate snakes.

Also, a true snake handler starts with their hands, and the moves to kisses! Jeez.

MaulerX · May 18, 2017

Wait... So he was bitten on the tongue? Wtf was he doing? Lol
