A man in his 70s has been rushed to Nambour Hospital after being bitten on the arm while reportedly in bed at his Cooloolabin home near Yandina.
Paramedics said it was a confirmed snake bite but the species hasn’t been identified.
It’s one of two snake incidents overnight, with another man in his 50s taken to Mackay Hospital after a suspected ankle bite at Hay Point.
It comes amid a surge in snake activity across the Sunshine Coast as warmer weather sets in.
