The deadly brown snake reacted immediately and bit the man in his right calf, penetrating through his pants. According to the stockman, the snake was still attached to the lower part of his leg after he had fallen from the motorbike.
He then took the snake behind its head to tear it away from his leg and throw it away from him.
