im at work so i was watching the intro with no sound. even in silence it stilll made me poop a little.

I love watching this guy's videos. Very interesting indeed and really knows what he is doing.

Watched it the day it was published. Al is a friend of mine and was quite upset to see he came so close to a Black Mamba bite. What we do is not the "safest" thing to do.

The great thing about him though is he shows these videos so people can learn from them.

I've watched some of his videos and feel like his life is a ticking time bomb. How many highly venomous snakes can someone handle like he does without eventually making a simple mistake and getting bit?

He has been doing it for a while so I guess a long time? This week's forest cobra video scared me as well, especially with the one that was shedding. That snake could have bitten him 124 times.

I figure he can do what he wants as long as no one else has to pay for it. I have wondered what the consequences would be if say, a tornado blew through the place.

I like his videos too. His videos were the first snake videos I ever watched.

wow. Just watched his latest video. You are right, many times in that video he could have been tagged.

Some of the snakes he keeps, specifically the king cobra Elvis seem highly intelligent, almost like they can set him up for a bite.

Snake brains don't work like that. They will bite if the feel really threatened or they confuse the keeper with food. How threatened they are may also depend on how comfortable they are with the keeper.
