Albert Kilian lives in a one-room house fully packed with slithering friends of all kinds, including a Burmese python, a king cobra and many more. Since his childhood Albert was interested in serpents, and by the age of 20 he already had thousands of venomous and non-venomous snakes.
He said: “Dealing with snakes is second-nature to me. They have been such a big part of my life so I just keep them around me. The biggest problem most people have with snakes is identifying a venomous or nonvenomous snake. It’s ignorance to kill a snake due to a lack of knowledge of how dangerous it is – even if it’s venomous it’s only trying to survive, not to hurt people.”
Over the last 35 years the man has been bitten by snakes more than 100 times. Previous injuries from venomous bites includes having his heart stop once, being paralysed three times, having his respiratory system fail three times and a permanently crooked finger thanks to a rattlesnake.
Nevertheless, Albert loves his dangerous pets with all his heart. Each tank in his house containing a venomous snake clearly displays the needed anti-venom and the nearest hospital to carry it.
