At 1 :30 a.m., Dr. Sheppard announced I would recover. The next afternoon I was back at the Serpentarium. Dr. Sheppard wanted me to stay in the hospital at least another day, but I insisted on leaving. The following Sunday afternoon, I successfully extracted venom from the same king cobra that bit me. The "re match" proved momentarily too much for my wife; after the king made a powerful but unsuccessful strike at me, Clarita ran sobbing from the scene. Now that I have survived a king cobra bite, I am convinced that my human guinea-pig experiment has paid off. I don't believe a cobra can ever kill me. The scientific aspect of my experi ment is of primary interest to me. To many people, my Miami Serpentarium is known primarily for its Sunday after noon "show." But this is only a by-product of my principal objective, which is to encourage venom research in the U.S. by making available to scientists a great variety of quality-controlled venoms from a single center. Until the Serpentarium was opened, researchers throughout the world had to contact one or more of a dozen different sources of venom, and at best the quality was uncertain. Now I supply some 30 different organizations engaged in venom research, including the U.S. Army. My interest in snakes dates back to 1921 when, at the age of 11, 1 got my first pet, a harmless garter snake. About a year later, I began collecting poisonous snakes near my home in Paterson, N.J. and survived a rattler bite. From then on, I made it my business to learn all I could about snakes and venoms. While still a teen-ager, I decided that one day I would own a laboratory where I could process and supply venoms to scientists to stimulate the research that I was (and still am) convinced might eventually yield important medi cal discoveries. Right now, I am looking forward to a new atomic-age study involving snake venoms. A nationally known research foundation wants me to make cobras radioactive and then extract their venom. If one of these "hot" snakes bites me, I might become a new kind of human guinea pig. It should be interesting. Family Weekly. November M, 1M2
