The snakebites to both hands make me wonder. I'm probably just excessively cynical. But it's just so common that snakebites occur when someone is trying to catch or handle the snake. This is especially true for snakebites to the hands, and especially especially true when the victim is a young male. I can see getting bit on one hand while reaching for a paddle, but for the life of me I can't figure out how you'd get bit on both hands while reaching for it. I don't think I've ever picked up a paddle with both hands at once, at least not with my hands right close together where they'd both be in reach of a small snake at the same time.
It just makes me wonder.
