A child bitten by a snake in Escondido is still in the hospital Friday.
The eight-year was airlifted to Rady Children's Hospital Thursday night after he was bitten by a snake, Escondido Police Department confirmed.
According to Cal Fire, the boy's parents called 911 around 7:35 p.m. to report he had been bitten on the left foot by a snake.
