Snakes in My Bed

"The cobra's had unanimously decided, from the beginning, that the bed belonged to them, though they didn't mind sharing it with me provided I behaved myself" - Austin Stevens.

An entertaining and often hilarious account - in retrospect - of his record-breaking 107 days and nights in a cage with 36 venomous snakes, the proceeds of which went into purchasing a mate for Kaiser, the male gorilla at the Hartebeespoort Dam Snake and Animal Park. Austin Stevens relates his behind-the-scenes story with irrepressible humour and a fine sense of the ridiculous.
