A South African man, Martin Smit, spent 113 days in a glass enclosure with 40 deadly snakes. He broke the previous record which was 107 days and was set in 1986.

Smit raised £5,000 for charity doing this and it wasn´t easy. There were few problems on the way to the record.

He had a flu and was bitten on the shoe by a puff adder. Three gunmen stormed the park and stole more than £3,000 that had been raised for the charity but insurers replaced the full amount.

Mr Smit said that this was an one time thing and that there are few thing he would have to get used to when he was out of the enclosure.

“Things like sleeping with the lights off and opening a box of rusks and not having a black mamba stare back at me, are only a couple of things I will have to get used to,” he said.
