Initially, the Idaho native thought he was brushing away a stick that had fallen across his legs. He soon found this was not the case. Craig shook the snake lose and stomped it to death before falling to the ground in pain.

Craig was shopping at the Walmart to get soil for his marijuana plants, Reuters reports. Don't worry, he needs them for "medical reasons," so he has he has a license. Craig was taken to the hospital by fellow shopper Maria Geffre, who was shopping for the same reason as Craig.

His hand swelled up to the size of a cantaloupe before Craig was treated with six bags of antivenom. Craig is in danger of having permanent damage to his hand and may lose sensation in a few fingers.
