There was a show on Animal Planet called Seven Deadly Strikes. This guy goes out to photgraph the seven deadliest hots in Africa. He is bitten twice, by a sidewinder and a cobra. He swings off a vine into a pond to jump on a gabby. The guy is a total nut.

The show made me shudder (no pun intended ;)) He gets bit a couple times if I remember right, but it has been about a year since I have seen it. The way he handles them boggles the mid as to why i have not seen him on the Darwin Awards.

Yeah he definately is a frontrunner for top honors for the Darwin Awards. I believe it was a Cape Cobra ( I think they called it a long snout cobra?), he was in southern Africa. What a piece of work. Nothing like showing the world that these snake just want to kill people.

The Bloke was a complete nutter, Entertaining, but a NUTTER. I'm a photographer,but No way would I go out of my way to wind up a snake to strike, just for a piccy...I#m having enough trouble with taking pics of my Bull snake & she's really docile.
