The Snake Man
The Snake Man
As it turns out, there are a lot more to snakes than we know. In fact, Bill Haast – aka the “Snake Man” – injected himself with snake venom every day for more than 60 years! What? He was experimenting on himself – he wanted to test if he could build immunity to the toxins.
Throughout his career, he was bitten no less than 173 times by some of the most dangerous snakes in the world. His blood was later used to save countless lives from snake venom. The best part? This man lived to the age of 100!

In Tokyo, a snake became best friends with what was meant to be its meal. The zookeepers gave the rat snake a live hamster for dinner. However, instead of eating it, the snake kept him as a little friend and pet.
To say the least, Gohan the hamster, and Aochan the rat snake made an odd couple. The furry little critter loved the snake just as much as the snake loved it.
