Man's selfie with rattlesnake lands him $153K hospital bill

Lesssssson learned: selfies with rattlesnakes are a bad idea.

Todd Fassler of San Diego learned the hard way after trying to take a selfie with a rattlesnake. Apparently, he didn't get the rattlesnake's good side and the reptile bit back sending Fassler to the hospital.

According to KGTV, services rendered to Mr. Fassler came out to an astonishing $153,161.25. 

The biggest item on that bill: pharmacy, which KGTV reports comes from Fassler's treatment. He reportedly received anti-venom from two local hospitals, depleting their supply.

Perhaps his attempt at a selfie was because he was missing his old pet: turns out Fassler used to have a pet rattlesnake but let it go in the wild because he thought animal services would appreciate it.
