I don't mind snakes. Growing up in South Africa there were a couple a snakes around... and I'm not talking just about the government!

Snakes are just very instinctive to me. I've been playing with snakes since before I could walk. It doesn't matter where or what it is, from the biggest to the most venomous.

I actually like snakes! When I was young, I was a boy scout nature camp counselor, and one of our projects was collecting snakes and creating an environment for them, so I'm quite familiar with snakes and think they're fantastic creatures.

I'm not about to go out and buy a snake for a pet. I mean, I may have faced a few fears but I'm not insane.

I've always wanted to do a shoot with snakes - big snakes, like pythons.

I really think I like poisonous snakes.

I've only seen one snake out in the wilderness, not behind glass, and I froze. I literally couldn't move. So to say I have a fear of snakes would be true.

I've had a fair amount of experience with snakes, and I find them to be pretty honest in terms of how you read their body language and emotions. They'll tell you when they're grumpy. They'll tell you when they're okay.

You can't talk of the dangers of snake poisoning and not mention snakes.

I have written a lot about snakes. There's something pretty primordial about it.
