Mooresville Woman In Crutches After Snake Attacks Her

MOORESVILLE, N.C. — A Mooresville woman is now on crutches after a snake attacked her.

She says she was trimming bushes in her front yard when a black snake popped out at her.

Unfortunately when she stepped off the ladder to avoid the snake, she stepped back into thin air and fell four feet. She says she’s now struggling to get back out into nature.

“I’m just going to try to do it in baby steps, which I’ll have to do anyway courtesy of this. But, um I’m just really, probably going to have to be really careful.”

Black snakes are not venomous, but she says that she didn’t know that at the time.
