My fascination with snakes began in 4th grade when I read a biography of Mr. Haast called Cobras In His Garden. He is famous for making himself (comparatively) immune to venomous snakebite by injecting himself with weakened snake venoms. He was bitten 173 times by venomous snakes in his long career.
