/ Toddler Bitten by Snake Three-year-old Teddy Lasry was napping yesterday in his cowboy outfit yesterday at his family's Fifth Ave. Apartment when he shot up in bed screaming. A 3-foot-long black-and-white snake was coiled around his left arm and had just bitten his pinky. "The baby-sitter freaked out," said Teddy's father, David Lasry, who, along with his wife, Evelyn, was at work when the reptile showed up about 4 p. M. The horrified nanny called 911 and the building's doorman. The doorman and two cable TV workers helped pry the snake off the boy's arm and stow it in a garbage bag, Lasry said. Police rushed Teddy to Mount Sinai Medical Center, where his parents said he spent two hours attached to a heart monitor as a precaution in case the snake was poisonous. It wasn't. Experts at the snakebite treatment center at Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx, where cops took the critter, determined it was a non-venomous California king snake. But how did it end up in Teddy's bed? A little sleuthing determined that the serpent had escaped two weeks ago from its cage in the apartment of a doctor whose family lives four floors below the Lasrys. The apologetic owner said his son's pet snake likely traveled up the radiator pipes and into his neighbor's apartment. "It's a very docile, very harmless snake," he said. "It's handled by our family all the time. " Lasry, 42, a fine arts publisher, said he believed the pet was simply hungry after two weeks of cruising. Teddy's mother, Evelyn Lasry, 37, said her son seems to have gotten over his fright by thinking of himself as a hero cowboy as he rode in the back of the police cruiser to the hospital. "I told Teddy he's a pretty snake, a nice pet snake who got out of his cage," Evelyn Lasry said. "But he asked, 'Why did he bite my finger, Mamma?' And I said, 'Because he saw that you are a big boy, Teddy, in your cowboy outfit and he got scared. " What did the babysitter do? She ran out of the apartment. She took the snake off Teddy's arm. She called for help. She called the television company

Criança mordida por cobra Teddy Lasry, de três anos, estava cochilando ontem em sua roupa de caubói ontem no apartamento de sua família na Quinta Avenida quando ele disparou na cama gritando. Uma cobra preta e branca de 3 pés de comprimento estava enrolada em seu braço esquerdo e tinha acabado de morder seu dedo mindinho. "A babá enlouqueceu", disse o pai de Teddy, David Lasry, que, junto com sua esposa, Evelyn, estava no trabalho quando o réptil apareceu por volta das 16h. M. A babá horrorizada ligou para o 911 e o porteiro do prédio. O porteiro e dois funcionários da TV a cabo ajudaram a arrancar a cobra do braço do menino e colocá-la em um saco de lixo, disse Lasry. A polícia levou Teddy ao Mount Sinai Medical Center, onde seus pais disseram que ele passou duas horas conectado a um monitor cardíaco como precaução caso a cobra fosse venenosa. Não foi. Especialistas do centro de tratamento de mordidas de cobra no Jacobi Medical Center, no Bronx, onde os policiais levaram a criatura, determinaram que era uma cobra rei não venenosa da Califórnia. Mas como foi parar na cama de Teddy? Uma pequena investigação determinou que a serpente escapou há duas semanas de sua jaula no apartamento de um médico cuja família mora quatro andares abaixo dos Lasrys. O proprietário, que se desculpou, disse que a cobra de estimação de seu filho provavelmente subiu pelos canos do radiador e entrou no apartamento do vizinho. "É uma cobra muito dócil e inofensiva", disse ele. "É tratado por nossa família o tempo todo." Lasry, 42, um editor de belas artes, disse acreditar que o animal estava simplesmente com fome após duas semanas de cruzeiro. A mãe de Teddy, Evelyn Lasry, 37, disse que seu filho parece ter superado o medo pensando em si mesmo como um cowboy herói enquanto cavalgava na parte de trás do carro da polícia para o hospital. “Eu disse a Teddy que ele é uma cobra bonita, uma bela cobra de estimação que saiu de sua jaula”, disse Evelyn Lasry. "Mas ele perguntou: 'Por que ele mordeu meu dedo, mamãe?' E eu disse: 'Porque ele viu que você é um menino grande, Teddy, com sua roupa de cowboy e ficou com medo. " O que a babá fez? Ela saiu correndo do apartamento. Ela tirou a cobra do braço de Teddy. Ela pediu ajuda. Ela ligou para a empresa de televisão
