Recently Steve and Steve (yes you read that right!) received a call from Seminole County on the outskirts of the Greater Orlando area for a [rattlesnake](https://drcritter.com/venomous-snake-guide/).  After a very quick response, they came across a beautiful [snake](https://drcritter.com/animal/snakes/) of about 4 feet getting some sun in the grass!

 We quickly and safely secured the snake for transportation to a licensed facility, but not before snapping a few photos and videos of him displaying his potent defense mechanisms.

After a quick google search on how best to clean snake venom from a camera, it was back to business as usual at Dr. Critter.  We've attached a few photos below, but we'd strongly recommend you head on over to our Facebook page at [www.facebook.com/drcritter](www.facebook.com/drcritter) to watch the incredible video of the snake biting the camera!
