Some people shouldn't own snakes...

Man gets tagged for the 44th time by a hot?

It seems like he's trying to get a lifetime achievement award from the Darwin Awards...

I wonder how any bites it would take for that guy to say “You know what this time for me to give up”?

I wonder how any bites it would take for that guy to say “You know what this time for me to give up”?

Or say, "I think it's about time I learn WTF I'm doing". He got bit on the hand while cleaning the cage?! How do people like this get permits to work with hots?

[Gooseman]

you'd think they'd revoke his permit after say... 5 bites... let alone 44...

ray is a legend in some circles he has a very unorthodoxed style he free hanldes all his hots most he has are kings i think he also helped write f.l. laws on snakes

Maybe it's just me, but potentially getting a lethal venomous bite over 40 times doesn't seem like it would help the public perception of this hobby.

And I would also have to wonder how he can keep his venomous permit after having so many "incidents".

i heard on another forum that he injects himself with cobra venom

[JLC]

Who knows what the true story is behind this guy? Based on the article though...he's either an idiot with a death wish....or an idiot with an immortality complex.

[modfrogg]

he does preform self enoculations

Does injecting yourself with venom really help? What happens, does the body develop a sort of tolerance to it? By asking I am in no way going to do it myself or suggest that it should be done, just wondering how that works.
