💥 Venomous tenant
A high school football player in Arkansas practiced for nearly an hour with a venomous snake hidden inside his helmet without realizing it
On Thursday, August 6, 2026, a player at Maumelle High School in Arkansas put on his helmet for practice without knowing a cottonmouth — a venomous snake native to the American South — had slipped in under the padding. The player practiced with the animal on his head for nearly an hour before noticing an odd movement, taking off the helmet, and alerting his coach.
