Snake: Nikita Aldridge nearly dies after being bitten by venomous snake at …

Experts have now identified the animal as a venomous yellow faced whip snake, whose bite causes extremely painful swelling.

She posted photos of her arm on social media to ask for advice, and then called her local snake catcher who confirmed she had suffered a snake bite.

She said after the snake catcher arrived he performed first aid on her but didn’t have enough time to search for the animal.

The mother said the snake catcher believes the snake may still be in her home.

‘I’m constantly looking around the house, every time I hear a noise I panic because I’ve got a two year old,’ Ms Aldridge said.
