Anyone in S Fla knows who this guy is. A local legend. My dad and I used to sell a ton of snakes to him back when I was a teenager

:angel He was a good man. RIP
Gee , he was a great man, sorry to hear that.
He advanced reptile culture in so many ways during his long life time.
I remember my dad cutting out an article in the paper for me when I was younger, its crazy to think he lived to be 100 after all those snake bites. I wanna say in the article it said he some kind of immunity or something to the bites.

A secret of his success was the immunity he had built up by injecting himself every day for more than 60 years with a mix of venoms from 32 snake species. He suspected the inoculations might have explained his extraordinarily good health, but he was reluctant to make that claim, he said, until he reached 100.
