Hi name is Bill Haast, he was the curator of the Miami Serpentarium until 1984. He as recently as 2006 continued to maintain 400+ hot snakes which he still milked by hand weekly. Pretty impressive for anyone let alone someone in his late 90’s. Well it’s perhaps not quite accurate that he is immune to snake venom, he does through decades of self immunization display an incredible tolerance to it. Many others have tried to copy his self immunization technique but to my knowledge no one else has had much success with it.
