Help TOM AND STACEY! https://www.gofundme.com/f/tom-and-stacey-crutchfield-need-our-help?utm_id=97760_v0_s00_e0_tv3&cp_src=m
Ten years ago, I was bitten by a king cobra—and the bite changed my life. I spent more than a month in the hospital, was on life support for over a week, received 28 vials of antivenom, and went through several surgeries to try to save my hand. In the end, my finger had to be amputated.
In this video, I look back on the 10-year anniversary of that terrifying experience and talk about what happened, what I remember, and how it affected me. I’m grateful to the doctors, friends, family, and everyone who helped me make it through.
I also share a few updates from Ryder’s Ranch and catch you up on what’s been happening around here over the last couple of weeks. Then we head into the snake room to take care of a group of our animals, including venomous snakes and some non-venomous animals. We clean, refresh their water, check on everyone, and feed the animals.
This video brings together a personal story I’ve carried with me for ten years and a look at what daily life is like here at Ryder’s Ranch.
If you’ve been following my journey, thank you for being here. Leave a comment and let me know what you remember about this story—or what you’d like to see next at the ranch.

🎨 BOOK A TATTOO APPOINTMENT
I’ve been tattooing for 20 years, owned several of my own tattoo shops across Florida for over 10 years, and was featured on Ink Master — finishing 4th place out of 18 artists. In August 2025, I made the decision to sell my shop to fully commit to building our animal sanctuary and being a present father — but I never put the machine down. I still tattoo full-time and I’m always looking forward to exciting new projects and hanging out with amazing clients!
