    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bill Haast is one of the true pioneers of snake venom research, uses, and behavior of envenomating snakes worldwide. I have always admired Mr. Haast and his work.
By the way, does anyone know if he is still alive? I haven't heard anything about him or his work some time now?
 
Great article - 95 years old, if my math is correct, and doing exactly what he loves best. It's funny though I saw him many times in Miami in the late 60s and he looked like he was on his last leg then. His voice was so weak that Clarissa had to do the shows. Does anyone know if the serpentarium in the article is open to the public?
