AN ELDERLY man has been hospitalised after he was bitten by a snake.
The 71-year-old Burnett Heads man was taken to hospital about 7pm in a stable condition with puncture marks on his ankle.

Mr Kelly said people need to keep an eye out for snakes at this time of the year.
"It's (the incident) is a timely reminder to be aware where snakes are," he said.
