Texan sets record with 87 snakes in tub

Mon Nov 5, 7:53 PM ET

DUBLIN, Texas - Another day, another bizarre world record for Jackie Bibby, the "Texas Snake Man." Bibby spent about 45 minutes in a see-through bathtub with 87 rattlesnakes Monday, fully clothed, shattering his own record by 12 snakes just in time for Guinness World Records Day, which is Thursday. A Guinness official certified the record.

The snakes crawled under his arms, between his legs and anywhere else they could slither, Bibby said. None bit him.

"They can go wherever they want as long as they don't start biting," Bibby said. "The key to not biting is for me to stay still. Rapid movement scares a rattlesnake. If you move real slow and gentle, that doesn't seem to bother them."

I hope he never has to pass gas in the bathtub. I wonder how the snakes would like that, lol. Now if I was in a bathtub with one snake I would set a world speed record, heck that snake would not have time to strike, lol.

Better him than me...I fear/hate snakes more than anything else in this world.

It's great to see these stupid people. Once again, it's those kind of people that give me job security!
