People think they’re divided into many categories. In reality, people are only of two types: those who, upon hearing the word «snake,» feel horror, disgust, and fear—and those who, seeing a snake, are delighted and truly enjoy contemplating this beautiful creature.

For many decades, he worked with these mysterious creatures and studied all the features of reptile behavior. He knows everything about their habits, conditions of life, and the strange, not always clear physiology that made snakes throughout the ages such enigmatic, confusing, and frightening beings for most people.
