An 87-year-old Tampa woman had had it with the motherloving snakes on her motherloving porch.
So when a seven-inch pygmy rattlesnake slithered up to Esther Orring's door and bit her on the hand, she got even, strangling the venomous little serpent with her bare hands.
"She's a tough lady," Orring's daughter, Maria Pellicone, told WFLA. "She's a very strong person, so she will be a survivor."
Orring has been hospitalized since the Monday incident, after she was administered several vials of antivenin.
But the well-gripped granny is expected to make a full recovery, and Pellicone says she'll have the dead snake framed for her. video
