What happens when hes asleep? He can't control his dreams!, if he twitches and those adders get into his bed he's completely screwed!!! He probably wouldn't feel a quick bite if he was in deep sleep either.

There seems some confusion that this idiot is doing this purely for ‘charity’ – perhaps they had better read what is stated:-

Some of the proceeds of Mad Martin’s adventure will go back into the snake park, to enlarge the park, and purchase Komodo Dragons.

Some of the proceeds will go to Save a Child, to support their vision of caring for children with special needs.

This is nothing but an ego trip for a self publicist who’s primary interested, apart from publicity, is making money. This does nothing to further the image of responsible keepers, it is crass stupidity.

So kids shouldnt be allowed to watch formula one racing because they are definately going to drive their cars at 150mph and kill themselves? This guy isnt endangering anyone other than himself. And maybe its looked down upon over in this country, but hes in Africa, a completely different way of life where they grow up with these animals in their back garden. Maybe he could have choose a bike race to raise money, but i reckon hes going to earn a lot more money doing something like this. For gods sake!

mental and irresponsible yes. But who cares?

He's raising money for kids. Yes some goes back to the park but some still goes to kids. Thats still admirable.

Dangerous or not. Those pics are still s**t hot!

exactly...
what gets me is if he did choose to do a bike race no1 woulda sed anything...and lets face it kids are more likely to get there hands on a bike and die than they are ever to see a mamba like that!!!
jeez does it matter...hes doin something for charity!...and that alone is respectable as alot of people dont bother there arse's! but cos hes doing it with snakes its crazy O.o

I honestly can't believe some of the replies I'm reading!!! If something is irresponsible and plain stupid then it is whether it's for charity or not! I can't believe venomous keepers and wannabes are actually condoning what this man is doing!! It's madness, and those final pics, sheesh ... anyone know how quickly one of those can strike?

It's not ok for Eric to handle his cobras where he can see them, but it's ok for someone to live in a room with god knows how many snakes and god knows how many hiding places? Just because it's for some bloody charity . Talk about hypocrisy!!!! What's interesting is that most of the replies on here are from non venomous keepers, I wonder what other venomous keepers think about this?
