25 year old Eric Bortz Was hospitalized after being bitten by a pet Cobra of which he was told the venom sacks had been removed. After the bite he called the seller to confirm the sack were removed but it was soon apparent that he had in fact been envenomated. Other than a Cobra he also kept a Copperhead and a Timber Rattle Snake at the house “There’s no way a cobra would be legal in New Jersey,’’ said Larry Hajna, a spokesman for the state Division of Fish and Wildlife. At last report Eric was in Critical Condition.
