I like pets.  You know, dogs, cats, maybe a hamster, but not snakes.  A 19-year-old Sioux Falls man was bitten by one of his three pet rattlesnakes in his home.

The man was being treated at Sanford Health for a bite on the arm when police found out about it.  They got a search warrant and went to the man’s home on the east side of Sioux Falls and they found three rattlesnakes there and removed them.

Authorities are withholding the man’s identity because he has yet to be charged, said Police Sgt. James Buteyn. It’s against city ordinance to keep venomous snakes in Sioux Falls.
