Even around Tampa: Florida mailman bitten by snake during his rounds
The 66-year-old was bitten as he put mail inside a mailbox. He told authorities that he shook his arm and thwacked the snake against his car door to break its grip.
It wasn’t a very big Eastern diamondback rattlesnake, so he finished delivering his route before he went to the doctor.

Wow! 66? He must have the constitution of a horse! Amazing. LOL
Gives new meaning to the phrase “poison letter”.
Some folks are just snakebit…
They don’t tell us what happened to the snake. It had to be a youngster to have fit in a mailbox and they are very important in vermin control. After getting “thwacked” it will probably need counseling.
