This is the town in SC where the man that was keeping the most venomous snakes in the world in his apartment lives. He was bitten by an inland taipan, the most venomous snake on earth from Australia and miraculously survived. All of his snakes were euthanized because their health background could not be guaranteed. Upon returning home from the hospital, he once again took to TikTok to post himself handling a rattler.
